SC4 Amateur Radio Club

I’d be happy to help with the Puente radios. I have cables, manuals, etc for both 8900 and FT-60s and a lot of experience using them. I also have one-pagers for basic programming. We could also make up “faceplate” diagrams like we use for Field Day HF radios.

Mike posted in December that the club meeting moved to the 25th due to a conflict with Red Cross training at the Fire House.

Darn – WFD was fun last year! I held the weekend open for a long time, but it recently filled with my annual piano technicians banquet and a gig Sunday at San Gregorio Store. Let’s try for it again next year.

I won’t be able to do WFD this year. Busy weekend, starting with our first club meeting that Saturday morning. I can help with some planning and contact camp if you get a quorum.

I was planning to be there Saturday, and would be happy to help.

Thanks Peter, the schedule looks great. I don’t have the new Technician Class book (mine was effective to 2018). Do you have a book I can borrow or slides available?

Saturday afternoon is best for me. First choices would be “Your First Radio” and “Repeaters”. I’m happy to do two sections.

I’m available to teach the 14th or 15th. Let me know which unit(s) you could use me for. I usually like doing my own prep if time permits, so any advance notice would be appreciated. I can help with setup or teardown as needed…

Thanks Pat and Irma for the meeting minutes. You can find anyone’s mailing address at QRZ.com or the FCC License website. I don’t know if Middleton has mail delivery, but our excellent post office knows how to get mail delivered to the right place!

Let me know if you need instructors. Happy to help this time around!

The Gripe tool is too much fun! In the past I’ve enjoyed the time change as it reset sunrise/sunset to hours I like, but this year grew tired of going around changing clocks. This November I found myself falling asleep at 8pm and waking at 4am for days! Grumble grumble, gripe gripe!

Yes, digital! – W6VG

I’ll bring Snacks and a Dessert, and will be there for breakfast. Mary is bringing a Main dish meat, I believe, and will also be there for breakfast. Thanks! – Neil

Thanks David. I’ve registered for the no-mentor course in October. That leaves 33 seats open at this time.

I’ve gotten a lot of places, but this was my first Japan JA7ETU. Still haven’t gotten Chile or Argentina. They are lighting up FT8 tonight!

Thanks for the help today Mike. Good PSK and Olivia with Red Cross this morning. Also got FT8 back online – contact just now with Miami, FL. Love it!! Looking for Argentina or Japan next…..

I’m re-setting up my KX3 with digital. Hope to be on tomorrow. Thanks Mike!
