Newsletters.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you are enjoying time with your friends and family.

John Unger, W4AU, was once one of the original (if not the original) newsletter editor for our group. He has given me the past issues of the newsletters that he had in PDF format which I have uploaded to the files area to share with you.

You can find these newsletters here at this link.

I will create a page in the history area for this to show up there as well.

LARG Website and History.

Hi there. Last Saturday I gave a brief talk on the the LARG website with a little bit of history on how we go to where we are today. If you want a copy of the presentation for your own review you can find that presentation here.

Thank you to those who attended the meeting and participated in the presentation. I enjoy the time there with you and hope to see you again soon.

Thursday HF net report.

The Thursday net was called at 20:00 local time. Those who participated:

KE4SDave
K8SYHBill
AB3KC *Collins
K3WD *Bill
W0MPM *John
W5ODJ *John
* indicates those who also checked in on 10 meters

Topics were Field Day, 13 Colonies, the recent local weather and PVRC among others. The band was in good shape and signals were strong in spite of the storms and static crashes.

We continued our discussion to 10 meters at 28.405 mHz. That band was in decent shape too.

It was good to hear everyone on the air tonight.

Digital and 2m net reports Sunday June 06, 2021

There were 3 participants of the digital net tonight:

  1. K3WD, Bill
  2. KG4TIH, Paulson
  3. W5ODJ, John

We had a nice long digital chat on various topics including what was being planned for Field Day 2021. Paulson is working on a remote 2D station to contribute to FD this year. Also talked about birds and bees, neighbors, long walks, grounding rods that don’t want to go into the ground (surprise) and many other things.

The 2 meter net was attended by 9 folks tonight. Lots of new hams using their license to share some time with all fo us. Those included:

  1. KO4NMN, Kevin
  2. KO4OCN, Mike
  3. K3WD, Bill
  4. KO4QVQ, Rick
  5. KI4AD, Evan
  6. AB3KC, Collins
  7. KD4HAX, Joe
  8. KF4UUX, Earl
  9. W5ODJ, John

As with the digital net we covered a range of topics from learning CW for Field Day 2021 to politics. It was good to hear all the new hams on tonight. I wish we didn’t have to mess with COVID and could have a Field Day like the good ole days. Hopefully this will sort out this year and we can get back to normal.

Everyone have a great week. See you on one of the nets coming up.
