VE Session – Wed Mar 29th 2017

This coming Wednesday, the 29th, a VE session will be held at the GNARC comm center from 6:30pm until completed.  The comm center will not be open for regular visitors, only VE’s and the test takers. If you know someone who would like to take the test, please let Lisa KC1YL know. We have a large crowd, but can probably fit one or two more.  Thank you.

Test post for FB integration

This is a test to see if the post shows up on GNARC Facebook page.

GNARC moves to new Email List

Effective as of 3/18/2017, GNARC has completed the move from the QTH.NET reflector to Google Groups for our email discussion lists.

All current members of the old list have been migrated. 

You DO NOT have to have a GMAIL account, or even be a member of Google groups to receive and send to the group, you just need to be enrolled. You must have a Google group account (which can be your normal email) to read and post using the web interface.  It is recommended you create a Google group account, so that you can change your name to have your call sign in it.

Contact Tom K1TA or Paul WB2JVB for help. Emails are on the directory page.

Technician Class Begins

Wednesday, 2/15 was the first night of the technician class.  Jon AI1V and Paul WB2JVB are lead instructors. Supported by Tom K1TA and perhaps some guest teachers.  We have a good crowd and a few are ALREADY talking about upgrading and getting to HF!  Here are a couple of photos.

Come join the Wednesday night fun!

Paul W1PPL, Paul WB2JVB, Lisa KC1YL watching Tom K1TA do something interesting! I don’t remember what it was, but I think we were looking on a sked page to get a MT contact, which is all that N1EV needs for 50 states!

Please don’t be shy, come on down any Wednesday. We usually have pizza or Chinese food and enjoy some ham radio operating and discussion. Check the reflector for details.

GNARC Holiday Party – Great Fun!

Thanks to all who came to our holiday party on Wednesday. We had a great turnout, good food, good drink, and of course Toy K1WYQ was the master of ceremonies! Lisa KC1YL was awarded a certificate of appreciation for her contributions to the club over the past year.  She spearheaded many club activities this year: fox hunt antenna building, Sheffield Island Expedition, Ambler Farm “Fall out on the air”, summer picnic and more. Thanks Lisa for helping GNARC stay active! VP Paul WB2JVB presented the award.

Rotor Replaced!

Today, a small crew from GNARC replaced the failed rotor on the tower. Mike N1PLH and Paul WB2JVB climbed the tower with ground crew support from Tom K1TA, Curt W1FSM and Dee N1ZD.  Charles N1LLL was the safety officer.  Please see one of the tech committee for training on how to use the new rotor system.
