Yesterday, we were given the awesome opportunity to work alongside the US Forest Service’s Job Corps students by getting them some quick experience in amateur radio!

We want to express our gratitude to the Jackson County Rescue Squad for allowing us to overrun the main building and operate.

A huge thank you goes to the Jackson County Amateur Radio Service (KF4DTL) for coming out, loaning equipment, and providing both our students and Job Corps students with the awesome knowledge y’all possess.

We logged a total of 63 contacts over 10 hours of operating! Thank you to all the operators for making this possible and Winter Field Day for putting this event on!

Welcome back to campus and I can’t wait to hear y’all on the net tomorrow.

73!

On December 13, 2023 at 12:30pm (ETD) Brandon, Dan, Nicholas, and Russ went to our repeater location and replaced Russ’s homemade repeater that was originally installed on December 23, 2012 with a Motorola Radius GR1225, donated by the Jackson County Amateur Radio Service. The repeater was returned online at 1:51pm.

This Thursday, November 2nd, we will be holding our next club meeting in the UC Pisgah Room (322) starting at 7PM Eastern Time.

Unfortunately, this meeting is limited to 8 attendees so we will also be hosting a Zoom virtual meeting linked below.

We will be going over basic ham terminology!

We hope to see y’all either in person or virtually!
