Bring your equipment, have it tested, enjoy the social

 

So why did you become a ham? There are many answers to this question but most people agree that it has to do, in some way, with the joy of fiddling with radios and antennas. This next meeting unlike a regular meeting has no speaker scheduled.

 

Instead, everyone should bring what their most interested in regarding ham radio, that includes bringing questions. A lot of the Technical Resources of the club have gotten together to bring test equipment, soldering equipment, computers, and general knowledge to make this meeting a totally different experience. We will be supplying Pizza, sandwiches, and drinks along with coffee.

 

For people that want to play with HF equipment we will have the new FLEX 6400 SDR transceiver online in the room and remotely operating . We will also have the club’s Bank of software defined radios, which currently are on the mountain, operating from the room.

 

Come add your knowledge and learn something new in the process.  The room simplex frequency is 146.555

PARC was founded in February of 1936 and strives to provide the best services available to the San Diego HAM community.  PARC hosts monthly membership meetings at the Harding Community Center (3096 Harding St, Carlsbad, CA 92008)., details about the next meeting can be found on the Events page.  We also host several annual events, like Field Day, Operating Day, and a picnic.  Our repeaters serve not only as a means of communication for all HAMs in the area, but also host specific nets to allow specific topic discussions or practice for emergency preparedness.  Some of our nets include the National Traffic Service (NTS), MARA, SATERN, and Red Cross.  Special interest nets include Microwave, Ham Help, Handi-Hams, and the new C4FM Help group.

Radios for Scouts is a program that the club sponsors, through generous contributions by our members, to provide a brand new pre-programmed Baofeng radio to local Boy Scouts who pass their Technician class exam and obtain their first callsign! Please contact the board for information on sponsoring this project

Our repeaters are located near the top of Palomar Mountain, at about 5600ft above sea level, and operate on a battery bank that is fed by commercial power.  We proudly maintain independent power for several weeks in the event of an extended grid outage, and indefinitely if we make a trip with a generator and fuel.

Thank you for stopping by, feel free to give a shout out on our repeaters, or join us for our monthly meeting!
Membership is not a requirement for using the repeaters or attending the meeting. However, we would encourage you to join the club and experience all the benefits of membership.
