Repeater News
It is official! The NHARC Repeater Committee has received the letter from the Western Pennsylvania Repeater Council giving us the okay to use 146.22 - .82 for our new two meter D-Star repeater. We have everything except the radio module in house. Our plan is to shop all of the Icom dealers displaying at the Dayton Hamvention for the best price. For more detailed information about this project and project updates, please visit the dstar.nharc.org website. We want to thank the very kind and generous members of the Skyview Radio Club for giving us the frequency pair. Transferring an existing coordinated frequency pair is many times easier than applying for a new frequency pair.
NHARC Member Earns Eagle
Sixteen year old Jonathan Hyatt, KB3SHS, earned his Eagle Scout rank last week (5/12/10). Jon's Eagle Project consisted of building a number of trailside benches and birdhouses for Shaler Township's Fall Run park.
Jon was also the Club's first Scout Net Radio Scholarship recipient early this year.
Club Auction...Did You Miss It?
The Club held a huge equipment auction on February 24 at St. John's church. Lots of equipment went home with new owners and the Club benefited. A win-win.
