Several members provided support in “SAG” vehicles (Supplies and Gear) and Rest Stops during the Annual Tour de Lincoln. Radio contact gives the riders comfort knowing that in an emergency help can be arranged quickly. This also helps us test our equipment and operating skills in case of an emergency.
Julian, KO6EPL and Richard, KO6JUF successfully set up their radios and made contacts using FT8, a digital mode allowing for contacts via computer and radio.
We participated in “The Great Shakeout”. Our Club’s radio operators submitted over the air reports that describe effects of a simulated earthquake. This exercise tests our equipment and our ability to react quickly and report accurately using our radios.
Meetings are held at the South Tower every Monday night at 6:30 PM. Our club conducts a weekly radio network at 7:00 PM every Monday on the W6LHR Repeater at 147.030 MHz, 167.9 PL. If you are looking for a way to engage in the community and have an interest in amateur radio, please check out the LHARG. We can help with programming handheld radios.
