LATEST NEWS |
- REPEATER UPDATE 3/26/13: The K4QHR repeater has been changed to 146.895 MHz, - shift, using a CTCSS tone of 127.3 on transmit, and an optional Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) of 411 (N- Normal) on receive. If your radio does not have hybrid tone squelch Encode/Decode (CTCSS/DCS) capability, don't worry, just use tone 127.3 on transmit. The new repeater is much quieter, and its footprint now extends well North past Brunswick, and South past Jacksonville. Thanks to Pete, K4QHR for all the work he put into this great sounding repeater!
- NEW REPEATER OWNER: The W4COJ repeater (444.625+/118.8t) has changed owners! A big congratulations to Bill W1KFR for his aquisition of this excellent repeater system and we look forward to even better capabilities in the near future. Pushing 250 watts with an antenna at 800 feet, it's footprint now extends North of Darien, and South to Jacksonville. (Who wants to test how far West both these repeaters reach now? With the exception of maybe a few dead spots, it should be at least out to Waycross...)
- April CCARS Meeting - Another delicious dinner at Murray's Grill on A1A in Yulee, FL. Tom K4TMN brought his Raspberry-Pi/D-Star DVAP hotspot for demonstration but Murphy (of Murphy's Law fame) had other ideas. We hope Tom will be able to complete his demonstration during a regular meeting in the near future. The May meeting will be a regular meeting to discuss Field Day 2013, coming in only 7 weeks!
- LINKS PAGE UPDATED The page listing links to dozens of calculators, antenna analysis software, parts and equipment dealers, reference sources, and tons of other radio & electronics related stuff has been updated. We have also added a dedicated page of links to radio related apps for your Android smart phone. Check it out here: ANDROID APPS
- Our VE Team continues to do an outstanding job conducting amateur radio testing sessions the second Sunday of each month. Congrats to our new hams and to our dedicated VE team. For more information, see our VE Page

EVENTS, HAMFESTS, & CONTESTS |
- Last Month
- April Events - This year the Annual Folkston Railwatch and Georgia QSO party unfortunately fell on the same day, so it was decided to concentrate on the QSO party. Propagation was not the best, but Thurston W6NY still had some fun with a 40 meter NVIS dipole set up just for this contest. Maybe we will be able to do both again next year. Time now to get ready for the VHF QSO Party June 8-9 and Field Day June 22-23!!
- This Year
- Calling all Rovers! - 2013 is packed with and one of the best ways to enjoy them is by activating while mobile! Better be ready to work a pileup of stations! Even if you only have an HT, you can still participate thanks to the "FM Only" or "Portable" categories.
- Pick a contest and do some operating! You don't need a "big gun" station to have some fun. For a full calendar of upcoming events, take a look here: or here:
- Know of any upcoming local events, festivals, or historic dates that we could activate a Special Event Station (SES) for? Let us know!
