Watts Up This Week
May 20, 2024 SFARC Members and Friends,
Another great week ahead at SFARC! We’ve got a lot on our plate this week…
POTA POTA POTA PARTY! – THIS SUNDAY 10 AM
Join Thomas (KN6MJB), Christina (AK6DU), Chris (N6CTC), and the Sierra Foothills Amateur Radio Club are having a Parks on the Air (POTA) this Sunday at Empire Mine State Park in Grass Valley. If you’ve never been to Empire Mine State Park, it’s AMAZING!!! We’ll kick things off @ 10AM and continue as long as we have willing operators (or we get kicked out). We will have two HF portable stations available for everyone to use (Yaesu FT-710 & Yaesu DX-10). You do not need prior POTA experience, or even a call sign. We promise to teach you everything you need to know for your first successful POTA activation.

SPECIAL 5TH WEDNESDAY PRESENTATION – MAY 29, 2024 @ 7:30 PM
On the 5th Wednesday evening this month (5/29 @ 7:30 PM), 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.
