Central Coast Amateur Radio Club News – June 11, 2023
Next weekend, June 17 and 18, a Foundation and education training weekend is taking place at the club
rooms with training on the Saturday and exams on the Sunday. As such, the club has planned an “HF in the park” day starting at 10:00am on Saturday inside Mount Penang Gardens, Parklands Rd, Kariong. Bring your portable gear and let’s see how much DX you can work on the day. There are more details on the club’s Facebook page.
On the following Saturday, June 24, we have a double banger. In addition to putting some more work in on the club’s tri-band beam we will be holding the regular Show and Tell with the theme “I made this, could you?”. The club rooms will be open at 10:30am.
There are rumours of something brewing in the Central Coast area. It’s not clear exactly what it is but we’ve been told to write down the 5th of May, 2024 in our diaries and keep an ear out for updates.
At the VK2RAG Somersby repeater site, the D-Star, Rad-Net DMR and 2m Echolink services are fully
functional.
The club Web SDR at Somersby. Websdr.ccarc.org.au is configured to listen on 6 metres, 2 metres, 70
centimetres and 23 centimetres.
The Morning Tea Net is run on weekdays at 10:00am and the Weekly net on Thursday at 8:00pm.
Both nets are run on on the VK2RAG repeater – 146.725MHz with a 91.5Hz sub-audible tone, and on the
CCARCNSW and HAM Echolink conferences.
The Thursday evening net is also live video-streamed on the club’s facebook page.
You can find out more about the CCARC, our upcoming social events and other details that we can’t tell you about here on the web at ccarc.org.au, by phone on 02 4340 2500, or on social media by searching for “Central Coast Amateur Radio Club”. Remember to give the club a “like” to follow for any updates.
