We had a great Pile-Up today at the Playground Amateur Radio Club! Visitors and members showed up and let me tell you what! We completed the connection to the Frankantenna R7 / R9 build! We made contacts on multiple bands and its back!

 

But wait, there’s more! We also helped out our fellow members with a flat tire and fixed a tangled web of coax on an antenna system!

 

If that is not enough, we learned more about the W4ZBB FT8 Station! WHAT?! PARC does FT8?! Yuppers! You better believe it!

 

We also had others at the Club benefiting discussion on upcoming events and Radio work! Here’s a teaser for two such events,…watch in and upcoming release for the PARC B Q Open House! Also, be on the lookout for more details concerning this year’s Ham for the Holidays dinner in partnership and sponsored by North Okaloosa Amateur Radio Club – NOARC!

 

Oh the joy of radio and fellowship!

 

One last thing, if you’re reading this, Thursday at 730pm is Tech Night at the Playground Amateur Radio Club! This week we bring you the CSFL! The subject of the August Technical Night will be “Integration of Amateur Radio and Other Community Networks”. That means we’ll be talking about GMRS, MURS, and other radio types and how we can work with them for the benefit of us all!

 

See you all soon!
