Watts Up This Week
May 29, 2024 SFARC Members and Friends,
It was a BIG Memorial Day weekend for SFARC. This past weekends POTA party was a big hit. If you missed it, no worries. I’ve heard rumblings that “SFARC POTA parties” will likely become a new monthly event. Stay tuned here. 🙂
JOIN SFARC TONIGHT (5/29) FOR A SPECIAL WSJT PRESENTATION OF EXPEDIITION MODE @ 7:30 PM PT (https://meeting.w6ek.org)
Al (K7AR) will cover what “DXpedition Mode” is, why it was created, how to set up and operate as a hound, what to do, and most importantly what NOT to do as a hound. Real-world scenarios from the VK9LAA expedition will be presented, so viewers can see how a Fox operates. Please join us on Zoom at meeting.w6ek.org as we welcome Al and acquaint ourselves with what it takes to run a DXpedition and learn about good operating practices. A Q&A session will be held after his presentation too. Join us tonight, ALL ARE WELCOME!
