CQ Field Day - CQ Field Day

 

Field Day 2009
June 27 & 28

When:   June 27 1pm until June 28, 1pm
Where: 
South Guth Park, Corner of Ennis Joslin & Nile MAP
Why:     
Have FUN and make contacts across the US & Canada

We need help setting up, operating, tearing down, food, publicity, etc....

We will start setting up on Saturday morning, start operating at 1pm on Saturday and finish operating 1pm on Sunday.  Then comes the task of tearing down.  (It is amazing how much faster it comes down than it goes up.)  In between the start & stop, operate a radio, talk with other local hams, meet people interested in amateur radio, eat some, and maybe sleep a little.  K5CNZ, has offered to bring his motor home to the site, so we will have a place to get out of the heat (or maybe the rain).

Come experience Field Day!  It is an operating experience you will be talking about until the next one in 2010!!!!

Contact Mike Scherger, KC8YSR, for more information.
His email address is Michael.Scherger@tamucc.edu

The Field Day 2008 web page has been updated with some of the pictures.

Collins Repair & Evaluation

Jab, K5CNZ, recently went through the Collins S-line equipment donated to the club.  Check out Jab's detailed write-up about what he found and how he fixed it, along with a couple pictures of what the equipment looks like.


Help Stop
Restrictive CC&Rs

More and more hams live in residential subdivisions governed by deed restrictions, sometimes known as Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), that prohibit the operation of ham radio stations and that prohibit the erection of ham radio antennas.

The Legislative Affairs Group of the ARRL West Gulf Division need your assistance.  Please read the announcement at ARRL Stop CCRs to see how you can help.
