Hello RMVHF,

Kids and Ham Radio

Marty (KB7QOS) sent me a article about BARC that was in QST some time ago. I would much like to share it with the group but it is rather lengthy to post here. I will make it available via Email to anyone who wants it (KD1PE.1@Gmail. com) and I will send you Marty's Email to me.

Discussion about attracting young hams

Below is a link to a very active ham club in the Denver Area. This is the kind of hands on activity if you are going to attract hams, of any age for that matter. It is not enough that "we" are hams. We have to make them want to be "Hams"

January VHF Sweepstakes

At the January club meeting, Jack KD1PE mentioned a VHF sprint later in the month. My research indicates it's not a sprint but instead runs from 1900 UTC Saturday and ends 0359 UTC Monday (Jan 21-23, 2012). From ARRL .....

1. Objective: To work as many amateur stations in as many different 2 degrees x 1 degree grid squares as possible using authorized frequencies above 50 MHz. Foreign stations work W/VE amateurs only.

Christmas Party

We have scheduled Country Buffet at the mall for our Christmas dinner meeting on Dec 13 from 7pm until 8:30 when they close.

 

We will not be having a business meeting for December.

 

Hope to see everyone there!

Link Restored

KC0WVE, Larry advised me that the Stage Hill repeater (444.125 114.8 /south of Gering) is now back on the air and linked towards Cheyenne thru the Albin machine (147.165 / 114.8).

THanks to the Tri-City club.

2W dual band radio at tonight's meeting

Ralph Zauner N7CSO brought the smallest radio I have ever seen to the meeting.  It is a UV-200 BAOFENG Dual Band Radio.  They sell on Ebay for about $43 including shipping.  Incredible!
