Watts Up This Week

Late week update.
The final deadline for submitting a T-Shirt design for the Field Day 2025 contest is approaching. We will accept submissions until 11:59PM tomorrow (Friday, May 16, 2025). Submit your design @ www.w6ek.org/contest
I won’t continue to promote Hot RF Nights. OK, maybe one more time! It’s this Saturday and the weather looks GREAT. Saturday’s highs are 77 with a lite breeze. Absolute perfect weather for being outdoors and enjoying an ice cream float. We’re giving away a Xiegu G90 and two really cool battery boxes so bring out your vehicles or go kits (go boxs) and show off your stuff. This Saturday (March 17th), 2PM setup, 3PM start.

Looking Forward May 2025

It’s May already! That means Hot RF Nights is happening! This time we’re doing it earlier than we’ve ever done so we can enjoy some nicer weather and a new larger venue. On the 17th, amateur radio operators and emergency communications personnel from all over the area will spend an afternoon checking out each others’ setups, exchanging ideas, learning a thing or two, all while enjoying great food and social time. Whether it’s you car, truck, van, or RV, bring it by so we can all admire your work and get inspired to take radio out into the field. No mobile install? No problem, because go kits big or small have stories to tell! Whatever it is you’ve got, come show it off and be a part of the action.

The first full week of the month is its busiest, with a club VE session on the evening of the 5th. Come join us and help out with showing new and upgraded licensees what ham radio is all about! Our club board meeting is on the 8th, and following that is the general meeting on the 9th. With so much of our lives happening on digital devices, it’s important to safeguard our data. Smitty (WB1G) has an excellent presentation on how to store, preserve, and ultimately retrieve important data so you’re left with peace of mind in case emergencies arise. Come join us and learn all about how you can take control of your digital assets and make sure it’s all there when you need it!

Field Day is in June, and we’ve got a T-shirt design contest going on this month! We’re accepting submissions starting on the 2nd and we’ll take designs until the end of the 16th. For more information on the contest, head on over to http://w6ek.org/contest. The winner will be announced on the 19th, and I look forward to what you all come up with for this year’s Field Day T-shirt!

73,
