W6PW D-star System on the Air

With the help of lot of people and overcoming several challenges our D-star system is on the air. The switch was thrown on Sunday afternoon January 10, 2010. Gateway connection to the world wide D-star network is just around the corner and 23cm operation is in the near future after we acquire duplexers for the band. Your generous contributions have been put to work and have paid off.

Campout Weekend Change

It has been tradition the joint SFARC/MDARC campout takes place on the first weekend in June every year. However, another group beat us in reserving Rocky Ridge for that time for the second time in the entire history of the club reserving that camp site. For 2011, this event will take place on the second weekend. This might be a better time for those who have participated and those who would like to come for the first time.
