W1SYE will be on the air this weekend, starting at 8:30 AM Saturday morning, as the Jamboree on the Air station for the Boy Scouts. Each scout will need to make 10 minutes worth of QSOs as part of their merit badge requirements. We will be staffing a HF station and a VHF station, and would very much like to have club members standing by to help a scout with a QSO.
If you can help us out, please go to this link
W1SYE is running a special event ILLW station from Beavertail Lighthouse.
if you would like to contact us please try 20m around 14.260 MHz
Ed (W1NQH), Jack (N1JK), John (WA1ABI), and Willy (W1LY) were at it again on April 27th, installing custom made Heliax cables and resolving RF noise that was desensing the receiver. You can read about the latest update HERE, and see photos of the repeater site and update HERE
The club is very grateful to all those involved in the update, which when completed, will result in a fine ECOM repeater for all of the East Bay area.
For those interested in taking the first steps to become personally affiliated as a volunteer for the Red Cross, you might find the upcoming Middletown class being offered on December 14th of interest.
