For those interested in learning CW, Bob Bastone (a.k.a. RadioFreeBob) offers a code practice session every Monday night at 8:30PM on the Skyview 146.64 repeater.
Code practice every Monday night at 8:30 PM on the 146.640 repeater. Work one on one at whatever point youÕre at in learning CW. Just starting out? No problem. A combination of self study and working with me on Monday nights will have you operating in this classic mode in short order. It is just before the Breeze Shooters net so get on two meters, do some CW and then check into the Breeze Shooters net at 9:00pm on 10 meters! I hope to CU there. DE WC3O Bob |
Open to the public ...
On Wednesday evening, July 28th, 6pm-8pm, the North Hills Amateur Radio Club will be operating some long-distance amateur radio stations from St. John's Lutheran Church on Cumberland Road in Mcandless. At this same time the 2010 National Scout jamboree will be taking place in Virginia. The scouts in Virginia will also have a long-distance amateur radio station at the jamboree.
We would invite any local scouts (and/or friends, family) not attending the jamboree to visit the station on Cumberland Road in Mcandless at this time. We would invite any scouts who are attending the jamboree to talk back to the North Hills club on July 28th from 6pm to 8pm. We will be using voice communications (SSB), Morse Code (CW), and radio texting (PSK31).

North Hills Amateur Radio Club's 2 meter D-Star repeater is alive and well and "on the air"!
The new repeater is operating on 146.82MHz with the callsign W3EXW C. It shares the same site (WQED-TV in Oakland), the same antenna, the same feed line, and the same controller as W3EXW B on 444.35MHz. While it shares a lot with our UHF D-Star repeater, it is a separate repeater. More info to follow...
