The Club's New Meeting Times Saturdays Beginning May 8th, 1:00 PM Club Meetings Have Been Moved To Saturdays! The members of the Jefferson County Radio Amateur Club have come to the determination that Saturday afternoons are more enjoyable than Monday evenings. Therefore, by decree of the membership present, it has been proposed that all regular business meetings be scheduled to occur on certain days and hours that are conducive to safe driving, outdoor activities (like eating and horseshoe throwing), and feeling like you didn't just get off of work. Be forewarned! Good fortune such as this will not go over-looked and under-used. Come one, come all to this extravaganza of fun and wonder. An Open House to the public to spin a dial and talk to the world with Ham Radio. No license required. Operators are standing by to entertain dreams you had never realized before. Groups by reservation; Schools, Scouts or Special Interest. Camp-outs, classes, exam sessions, tutoring and workshops. Remember, the new schedule for the use of the Jefferson County Amateur Radio Complex takes place on the second Saturday of every month without freezing weather (May - November) starting at 10 am going until we drop (usually with marshmallows). Campfires in the evenings will coincide with stargazing sessions. Come on by and ask for the Grand Tour, You'll be glad you came.
We would like to thank Mike, KK2DOG, (Previously: KC2FTN) for providing an EchoLink connection to the club's repeater.

Many Events Are Happening Soon that Will NeedHam Radio Support A schedule will be posted soon with signup tools so that you can get involved in the events you would like to help out in the most. Here is just a sampling of what's to come. The Winona Forest Recreation Association will be hosting 4 events that have requested out community's assistance early this year. They consist of 2 cross country ski events and 2 dog sled races. All will be held over 4 separate weekends from January through until March. You don't have to be a licensed operator to help out. There is plenty to do. And as always, these are spectator sports so even if you don't volunteer, come and watch. These events can be very exciting. The schedule can be found here. To signup now contact the club at activities@kc2elx.net. WPBS will be hosting several volunteer events in the coming year. But for just a moment, I will digress: As most of us have used the 147.255 repeater at one time or another let us please keep in mind how gracious a host WPBS has been to CAN-AMERA in providing the facilities for such a great repeater. Please say thank you to WPBS by volunteering for one or more of the events in this coming year. WPBS maintains an online link and schedule that makes signup a breeze. Tech & General Class Courses Planned for the Spring Semester First a Technician Class entry level course followed by a General Class upgrade course are planned to be held throughout the Spring semester 2010 on campus at the Carthage Middle School, Thursday evenings at 6:30 pm. Your Elmers for this event will be Phil Cox, KC5AMQ, and Ric Letson, NB2E. Guest Speakers will on occasion walk you through subjects that they know well. For questions regarding this or any course in the 2010 season please call (315) 783-8671 or write to activities@kc2elx.net regardless whether you are enrolled as a student or not. Course fees will be $30 per student and include all books. Exams are $15 per test due at the time of test session. Anyone failing an exam will be permitted to retake their test immediately (additional $15 fee required). However should you pass your Technician exam, your first attempt at the General is free. Exam sessions will be provided by the Jefferson County Radio Amateur Club / ARRL VE staff. Club Logo? Start cooking up some hot ideas for what you think a club insignia should look like. The final choice will be voted on at the Spring Fling 2010 with all entries displayed. You don't need to be a member to participate, just keep checking in. Keep in mind that the whole north of NNY and maybe other parts of the US will see this as it will be intended to represent us on the side of the JCRAC E.R.V. (Emergency Response Vehicle) as well as on other signs and literature such as this website. Be creative or conservative. Let your opinion of what we should be come out in art. For the serious contender, please consider sending your suggestions in .tiff or .png format to kc5amq@arrl.net with complete credits and contact information for the author. A .jpg will suffice for hand produced media. All submissions will remain confidential until a public unveiling on this website March 2010. Where in the world is Alverson, NY? View Larger Map |
