Announcements

I am trying to gather up and plan a antenna building day for us. This is a fairly easy to build type of antenna and a great one for all usage. It is the cheapest and most used type of antenna in ham radio. I know a lot of you are planning to upgrade to General and this will be a good time to think about building you an antenna to use when you get your first HF rig. Please read about dipole antennas and please think about what band you might want to build one for. I also need to know who all will be interested in building one so that I can plan for it! Please reply and let me know! If you have questions, please ask.
Thanks!
I will let you all know when the build day will be and will probably get in touch with you beforehand.

2007 ARRL Field Day

We completed another successful ARRL Field Day with great member participating. We had a great time and it was a very successful event. If you are interested please take a look at our results. We also took some photos.
The W4GEN Repeater on 145.27 (tone 103.5) is available for all to use. It has undergone a new antenna installation located on the Geneva water tower just North of town. It has excellent coverage for 25 to 35 miles centered on Geneva, Alabama. All amatuers are welcome !
We have installed a solar panel power supply for the repeater and it is working out well.
We have not had any glitches so far.
Our monthly meeting is on the third Sunday of each month with the meeting starting at 3PM. We meet at the Geneva City Hall, downtown Geneva. All are welcome!
