January Club Meeting

10 Meters – Cycle 25 Brings the Band Back to Life

In-person only: LARC Clubhouse (4420 NW 41st St, Lincoln)

For those who earned their ham licenses less than eve or ten years ago, the 10 Meter band (28 MHz) probably seems like a deserted wasteland. But, at least during sunspot maximums, 10 Meters is truly a magic band capable of providing exciting worldwide communications for even the most modest stations, and we are currently approaching the maximum for sunspot Cycle 25. That’s great news! More good news, Technician Class hams have nearly full privileges on 10 Meters including voice, CW, and digital modes! This month’s program will highlight what you need to know to fully enjoy “working the world” on 10 Meters, including some historical perspectives, propagation types, equipment, and operating tips. Don’t let the magic of HF radio pass you by! If you miss Cycle 25, you’ll have to wait another 11 years for Cycle 26 (at least for 10 Meters!)…

November Club Meeting

Repeaters, ARES, SKYWARN, Nets, and More

In-person only: LARC Clubhouse (4420 NW 41st St., Lincoln).

Have you ever seen a repeater? You’ll see one at the club meeting. Why do we have ARES nets? You’ll find out why. Ever thought about why a call to another station is spoken in a certain way? Why do some folks end their contact by sending both call signs — and in a certain order? We’ll cover this, too. Come and get some great information to help you while working the repeaters. Invite a ham buddy to join you at the club meeting!
