SC4 Amateur Radio Club

Jeneen, are you taking the beginner class again or moving on to the intermediate?

Eva, there are apps to listen and learn on your phone, but to actually learn keying you need a couple pieces of equipment (paddle and electronic meter).

Hmm… sounds like this could be an interesting Tech Training for a club meeting!

I would definitely appreciate the encouragement to practice. 20-30 minutes on a weekend morning would be great for me. I don’t think I can commit a full hour.

Woot woot!! Happy Birthday Angelo!

Sorry about that, Neil. I fixed the permissions. Please try it again.

Apologies for being behind on planning — have been a little preoccupied with winter storm prep (haven’t we all).

If you are still planning to participate in Winter Field Day this weekend, please complete this short survey:

I am available. Will be at High School at 9:00 am. Note I am near enough high school that I can provide coffee, tea etc if needed.

Per this weekend’s club meeting, I’ve volunteered to be IC for this event. I’m going through the excellent documentation from prior events provided by DOV and QAD, so stay tuned and I’ll have a plan out by Wednesday, if not earlier.

If there are any new hams who aren’t sure what a Field Day is but might be interested in “shadowing”, let me know.…[Read more]

Thanks, Eva. I would love to borrow your text and I promise to take good care of it. I’ll follow up via email so we can arrange a time for me to pick it up.

Thanks for passing on this info, Neil.

Would anyone happen to have a copy of Gordon West’s 2019-2023 General Class text that you are no longer using? I have the old ARRL version, of course, but this class is based on the newer question pool.

Thanks,
Irma

Angelo,
This reminds me to ask about ARES vests and/or badges. I only have a CERT vest, but if I am sitting at the radio desk at the DOC, providing radio support for LAEG, or operating a mobile station under an ARES callout, the CERT vest is not appropriate.

For me, personally, I get a little confused as to the chain of command when I am both…[Read more]

Bob and Irma will be there as well.

Correction to the above:

3) Join us for a Zoom work session, Tuesday 7-8pm, https://zoom.us/j/2224556690

We will keep work sessions to 45-55 minutes. Tonight we will discuss different approaches to organizing content and keeping relevant / timely info easy to find.

Hi Angelo — thank you for this great presentation, and thanks, Eva, for asking great questions. I think the idea of a regular ARES Q&A would be really helpful. I’d be willing to help with editing and formatting a newsletter as well.

Irma

Pat I will take the last two slots (21/28).

UPDATE: WORKSHOP RESCHEDULED FOR NEXT MONDAY, NOV 2

Since we could not be certain when all our neighborhoods would come back online after this recent PSPS round, we felt it best to postpone tonight’s scheduled workshop until next Monday. Yes, I realize this conflicts with Monday night Net, but it was the only evening available for all of the…[Read more]
