Board meeting of SVRC. Members welcome.
Would your amateur radio equipment survive an Electromagnetic Pulse event, man-made or otherwise?
That's the question Pittsburgh, Kansas-based amateur radio operator Tyler Constantini, KB0PQP, will try to answer on Thursday, September 7 in an unusual Skype/Visual presentation to the Sangamon County Radio Club.
The program, at 7 p.m., will address not only the technical side of an EMP, but also the personal impact it could have on individual ham radio operations.
Each month's meeting includes a presentation related to ham radio. The general public is welcome to attend as well as area ham operators and SVRC club members.
The Sangamon Valley Radio Club Board Meeting. Club Members Only.
Tim, N9PUZ, will present information on Summits on the Air (SOTA) at the August SVRC club meeting. SOTA started in Europe as a way to encourage ham radio operation from the mountains and has grown to include associations in nearly a 100 countries and even includes opportunities for operators to participate in SOTA from the comfort of the couch at home. Well, how about if Tim tells you about it himself? SOTA is a perfect example of a hobby within a hobby!
Lucille was a member of the Sangamon Valley Radio Club in the 1950s and 1960s. She was truly a pioneer in the male dominated amateur radio community in Springfield and was highly regarded by many who knew her. Lucille was also very involved in the local P.T.A. and often hosted radio events for the youngsters in several Springfield area schools. She is pictured here working a Field Day station and making contacts. Gotta love her beautifully painted fingernails! The Sangamon Valley Radio Club is honored to operate the Ladies Net in her memory.
Ron Morgan has mentioned the SVRC in his latest Amateur Radio Relay League Illinois Section News:
Dwayne Terry, KA9KQH, will share his knowledge about repeaters that applies to everyone from novices to seasoned hams.
Field Day co-chair Jeremy Wells (KC9WMV) with co-chair Ron Bakunas KC9TEP, will detail the Club's Field Day event coming up at the Riverton Middle School on Saturday, June 24 through Sunday June 25 with a head-to-toe powerpoint that will show and tell you everything you need to know and bring to this annual event.
Hams from across the region will get an inside look at current issues facing amateur radio this Thursday, May 4 when the Sangamon Valley Radio Club hears from two top ARRL regional officials: Illinois Section manager Ron Morgan AD9I and Section Emergency Coordinator Fritz Bock, WD9FMB, both of East Peoria.
