Re: Request for Comments - Field Day advertising with KLAD
When I ran the Klamath County School Club, KC7VWW, we never had to pay for any PSA and advertisements, all coverage with the paper, TV and radio were free, since?Amateur Radio is a PUBLIC SERVICE. ?PSA are free. We had great support when we approach all the media for coverage.?

Re: Request for Comments - Field Day advertising with KLAD
I think if we can get interest from Film Production and Media Studies students as well, it would be great.

If anyone had flyers I¡¯d be willing to put them up around the college. I¡¯m sure there would be some more engineering students interested in joining.

Re: Request for Comments - Field Day advertising with KLAD
I can see both sides of the argument.?
My input would be to use this next calendar year to determine?how the club wants to be viewed in the community, create marketing material?internally that everyone can agree on, then next year use Field Day as the jump start to publicizing ourselves?to the community and the first Convention in a few months after. If we want to make a grand comeback, let's plan this out accordingly and have the resources available?for when we have the influx of questions and attention.??

Hello Cyndi,
Not at all. Listening in to their traffic as they go about their mountain top activations will probably be a learning experience for us all, not to mention those actually traveling to the various mountains will probably be happy to know you're there on the air with them in case they need help or directions or other information during their adventures.

Hello Everybody,
Tonight is the ?Monday Tech net at 8:00 PM local time 28.375MHz (0300Z).? Open to all licensed amateur radio operators.? Especially ones holding a Technician class or lower license.? Yes, even if you are one of the RARE persons that still hold a Novice class license you are allowed to operate SSB on the Tech Net frequency.? Tonight's topic will be Field Day scheduled for the last full weekend in June. ?
Also as a head's up on the calendar is the club picnic scheduled for Saturday, July 16 from 11:00 am until 4:00 PM to be held at Wiard Park under the canopy.? In the past to rev up some interest we have been known to schedule a hidden transmitter Fox Hunt in the morning prior to the picnic.
Oh, and don't forget the SeaPac convention to be held in Seaside Or the first weekend of June.

Re: Hogback UHF repeater off the air
Thank you all for your rapid response.?? It turns out that the road to Hogback is clear now. We got feedback from our ODOT guy (I think his name is Charlie...) that they have been up there with no problems. I will be setting up a work party for Saturday afternoon to replace the packet radio and the UHF repeater. I will put more info out at tomorrow night's meeting.
Thanx, Jeff KJ7IRV, ~73

Jeff , A side-by-side is like a quad on steroids but it¡¯s fully enclosed has a heater and can get you up where you need to go On Sun, May 15, 2022 at 11:50 PM Jeff Eastburn, KJ7IRV via <Tau_Roar_Media= [email protected]> wrote: Hi Colleen,
Please forgive my ignorance, what is a "side-by-side"? Is that a snowcat? It sounds like you know it would get us through the snow, so I (we) would definitely be interested in borrowing it, or requesting you take us up there if you prefer.
I will try to get a work party together for the 21st or 28th. It will only be 2 or 3 of us.

Feel free to call. I am sometimes slow about checking my email :-/

It appears we¡¯ve lost contact with our club¡¯s 443.900MHz repeater on Hogback Mountain. It stopped transmitting its CW identifier sometime last night and is no longer responding to its input frequency.
This particular repeater is the one the club plans to replace with the new multi mode digital repeater that can be used with Fusion, D-Star, and DMR compatible radios.
Hopefully we will be able access the repeater site within the next few weeks once the road dries up finally.
Thank you all for your continued support of the club, and 73!
