THE SPARK GAP NEWS
March Edition!
The weather is changing! Along with the change in weather, things are going to start getting active for the club that does things!
Coming up in no particular order:
Annual Potluck
McGreary Gravel Rally
Field Day
Various run/walk events we may be asked to help with again
If you want to see what it takes to make a repeater work, come on out to a work day. We have a new antenna for GMRS to go up at the Monticello repeater. This is part of where club dues go, for maintaining our repeaters so they can be the best they can be for everyone that uses them.
Want to build something, make it to hands-on. Our next project is a portable 10m j-pole antenna. I personally watched a video on how well this works. I was quite impressed. The great thing is any Tech can use 10 meters on 28.3 to 28.5
It is amazing what you can do with some coax, ladder line, wire, and a connector.
We would love to see more GMRS users come and join us. We have two GMRS repeaters for the GMRS community. We can help with any questions or technical help if you need it, as well as show you some of the capabilities of ham radio. There is no expectation of you pursuing your license.
Not much left to report for this month. Stay tuned to the calendar for events.
