FlexNet Wednesday September 11th at 8:00 PM

Sep 11

Posted by KD8MQ in News

The September FlexNet is scheduled for Wednesday, September 11, 2019 at
8:00pm Eastern. This month’s net is on 20 meters and will take place on
or around 14.325 MHz. We will have someone available on the 146.895
repeater to guide you to the frequency if it changes.
Mike, N8WCP in Rootstown will be Net Control for the evening. We are
still in need of an alternate net controller located in a different part
of the county to assist.
As well, we would like some new volunteers for the NCS/Alternate duties
in the next few months. If you are interested, please contact Deron
N8XTH at deronmb@gmail.com or 330-715-8552.

Radio Museum Tour Saturday September 14th at 10 AM

Sep 11

Posted by KD8MQ in News

Just a reminder our tour of the K8JLY’s Antique Radio Museum is this Saturday September 14th at 10 AM. Parking at the museum is limited so we have decided to meet at the Wales Square Shopping Center, 2150 Wales Rd. NE, Massillon, OH at 9:45 AM. This will allow us to car pool to the museum which is about 7 minutes away. The address of the shopping center is actually for a Dollar General Store at the center. Plan to park somewhere close to the Dollar General Store.
 
This museum is a real treat to see and experience. Please plan to attend and have some Big Fun in the museum.

September Board Meeting Moved to Tuesday September 3rd at 6:30 PM

Aug 31

Posted by KD8MQ in News

As happens every year the September board meeting falls on Labor Day. I have decided to move it to Tuesday September 3rd and start at 6:30 instead of 7:00. This will allow the Digital SIG to meet after our meeting.
Although this meeting is basically for the board, any club member can attend. That is the reason for the general QST.
Hope all of you enjoy the holiday. Maybe you will get in a few contacts.
Jim, AC8NT

Getting ready for OSPOTA? – let me know what you are doing.
What did YOU do during August that the other members may like to hear about (ham related, please).
Send your inputs to KB8UUZ@gmail.com
Deadline is 8 pm on Friday – August 30th. Getting your inputs before then really helps, so if you send it in earlier – you get a gold star!!

PCARS Event News Net Night, Ohio BBQSO Party, Club Antenna Issue

Aug 22

Posted by KD8MQ in News

PCARS NEWS
  1. Tonight August 22nd is Net Night at the Club. Stop by and have a little fun with your fellow hams. Fun will start at 6:30 and will run till 10:30. Kick into the fund and we will have pizza.
  2. This Saturday August 24 is our annual OhioBBQSO party. This is open to all club members and their families. If you want to operate, please plan to be at the club about 11 AM so you can review the rules and procedures for the contest with Chuck. Mike and Gene will start cooking about 3 PM. We will be having burgers and brats. Please bring a side dish to share if you can.
  3. During the storms of last week, we lost our 40 meter dipole. This is a very important piece of gear. The club will be replacing this antenna as soon as possible. Building the antenna is one issue. We will need a team to get it installed. The work is basically keeping the 80 and NVIS 40 from getting tangled up the trees, guy wires and other objects around the building as we drop the ring supporting these antennas from the tower. Obviously this also applies to raising the ring. Watch for a QST about this work. WE WILL NEED ABOUT 6 TO FINISH THIS PROJECT.
  4. Last, Remember the end of the month is coming. Parky will be asking for your articles and pictures. I am trying to get mine done a little to make it easier for our award winning editor to get his job done. So get your stuff to Parky sooner rather than later.
Looking forward to seeing you at these great events.
Jim, AC8NT
