  • Two Special DSRC Tuesday Nets

    The “Flying Reindeer Net” on December 24 scanned the skies of central NJ, but none were reported. Thanks to those stations who provided their observations.
    For New Years Eve, we have a net for 7 PM Eastern, which is 0000Z Jan 1, 2025, and the start of “Straight Key Night” (See THIS LINK). As always, we will use the DSRC 2-Meter Repeater

  • NU3E-Cheap Digital Interfaces for Cheap HTs

    Our November DSRC meeting’s featured speaker was John DeGood, NU3E. He talked about how to use a cheap, low power VHF/UHF HandiTalkies to communicate with digital modes… including APRS via AX.25 and Winlink via VARA FM as well as PSK-31 and other conversational modes. During the talk he passed around examples of interfaces from expensive to very very inexpensive. The talk included information on how to order parts.

  • DSRC Antenna Repairs Done!

    Professional work to stabilize the feedline is complete. We are on the air again.

    Route US 1 and looking North–

    Thanks to John KD2AAR, Jamie N2VVL, our club president Don AK2S, treasurer Laura K2WWF, and the good people at the NJ Public Broadcasting Authority, our 146.46 Repeater is back on the air. It has been moved slightly closer to the tower, with a new drip-loop and feedline attachments. We can also thank Bill Haldane xAC2F (SK), who, many decades ago, specified the angle bracket mount now being used for the antenna.

    Now we need to raise funds to pay for the repairs!

    Please donate at LINK or bring cash to our meeting! Remember, our club has no dues, but it does have expenses!

    Multiple Sclerosis Bicycle Ride, September 2024

    Cushla sent a collection of photos from the MS-150 bicycle ride from Cherry Hill to Ocean City, NJ (and back on Sunday.) She and Laura and John helped the Multiple Schlerosis Society raise money by assisting bicycle riders along the route staying in touch with the organizers via Amateur Radio.
