Recognition and HUGE thank you to all who donated and showed up to fix the radials on the club's SteppIR antenna!
Ken (AE5EO) for his donation of wire. Bill (WD5IBY) for his donation of wire. Bill (KF5VGP) for coming out and working 5 hours on Monday. Shannon (KF5ETG) for donating wire, nuts, bolts and connectors. Special thank you to Shannon (KF5ETG) for the days spent measuring & prepping all materials. And also for spending 17 hours, spread over two days, installing them all. *** A little after 1pm Wednesday, KF5ETG checked into the 7290 Traffic Net and another net in California via the K5BAY station and repaired SteppIR antenna. Both contacts provided great signal reports saying he sounded great. *** |
Need Help Programming?
Baofeng radios can be difficult to program, even for patient people. If you have any of the following Baofeng radio models and would like them programmed for amateur radio use, bring them to the next BAARC meeting. Models include the UV-5, UV-5R, UV-5R+, UV-5RA,UV-5RC, UV-5RE, UV-5RV2+, UV-5RTP, UV-5R16+, UV-5RCx (2m, 220 mhz) and UV-5X.
Bring the charged radio and a list that includes; repeater output frequencies, off sets, CTCSS/PL tones, power settings and names you want displayed to ID your settings. Or you may opt to have the same list of repeaters downloaded as are used on the BAARC club shack VHF/UHF radios. Other settings can be customized on the radio easily too, like the screen colors. KF5ETG-Shannon has the programming software and will get your list and radio setup. Shannon will take up the radios and list for programming and return the radios to operators in short order. |
