Everyone, Our joint XRX/ARES Radio Clubs Field Day 2024 is Saturday, June 22 and Sunday, June 23. This year we will again be at the lower soccer fields at Kent Park, 1700 Schlegel Road in Webster. Wire antenna set up will be Friday, June 21. The triband yagi, rigs, logging network, and power distribution will be set up Saturday morning June 22nd starting at 10:00AM. The contest itself runs from 2:00 PM Saturday to 2:00 PM Sunday. Take down begins at 2:00 PM Sunday June 23rd and should be complete by 4:00 PM. We need a few volunteers to help set up wire antennas Friday. If you can help, please let me know what times you are available. We plan to assign 2 to 3 people to set up each wire antenna. It typically will take about 1 to 2 hours. Please also let me know if you can help with Saturday morning equipment/tribander set up or Sunday take down. I have already contacted several of us to bring specific items (e.g. antennas, rigs, generators, laptops for logging). I will be sending out preliminary check list for everyone to consider bringing next Friday, June 14th. All are welcome to our Field Day. You don't need to attend the entire event. I hope you can join us. 73, Bob Karz, K2OID 585 729-5308 Virus-free.www.avg.com

So rather than send a really long email, I have some news that I wanted to share with members. It is about VHF/UHF digital voice modes, and another method to access our 2m repeater, including DMR > Fusion > DMR. If you already have a DMR or Fusion capable radio and a hotspot, this could definitely interest you. It has some background info for those who have not yet delved into the subject. I hope you take a couple of minutes to peruse it. The post and links contained within contain applicable info. I could do a presentation one day if interest is there as well. https://xarc.us/2024/05/xlx-reflector-is-live/ -- Brian -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- k2as@... http://xarc.us http://k2as.us https://www.qrz.com/db/K2AS

FYI, the repeater is very weak here. Unknown as to what is the problem, but likely an antenna issue. It was put up there 9 years ago this month. But possibly not other issue with the machine. I will try to get down to the site tomorrow and take a look. We do have a new antenna, but obviously finding a climber at a reasonable cost would be necessary. Also, our antenna support was thrown together, DX Engineering just came out with some new hardware for tower side mounted antennas. Not knowing what shape things are in I probably will try to shut it down remotely. If not, maybe when I'm there. Brian

I'll be showing foxhunting to new-ish hams this saturday at RARA's annual event at Black Creek Park in Chili, Pathfinder lodge. Setup is at 10, event starts at 11. There will be demonstrations of many aspects of ham radio for new or renewed hams. It's usually not a big bunch of foxhunters, maybe one or two at a time, but I'm sure they would love to see more hunters and hiders. Even if you can come for an hour or two and show us your stuff, it would be appreciated. https://www.monroecounty.gov/parks-blackcreek Jon N2JAC text 5852040413

Hello All, I was looking at notes from last field day. It appears that a 15m band pass filter is needed. Is there one available this year? I am willing to get one, just didn't want to spend money unnecessarily. Jarred - KF2MR

Our April XARC Meeting is Thursday April 11, 7PM, in the Webster Rec Center. There will not be a Zoom connection this month as there are some scheduling and logistics issues. There may be a presentation if time permits, on DXing With FT8 that was planned for February, if I can dig it out again and refresh my memory on what I wrote. We may also discuss meeting schedule. Attendance has been low, so we might entertain reducing the frequency and/or time of day. -- Brian -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- k2as@... http://xarc.us http://k2as.us https://www.qrz.com/db/K2AS

You can order the electronic version of the ARRL Antenna book for free. Not sure how long this offer is available and I'm assuming it's a members only offer. https://home.arrl.org/action/Store/Product-Details/productId/2014043922 Happy Easter! Dave N2OA
