Central Coast Amateur Radio Club News – June 18, 2023

Yesterday the club held an “HF in the Park” day inside Mount Penang Gardens with the club callsign,
VK2AFY. Perfect weather for a portable day out. There are some photos on Social Media.
Today we have a number of folk sitting exams for various grades of license and we wish them all the very
best.
Next Saturday, June 24, we will be holding the regular Show and Tell with the theme “I made this, could
you?”. Bring along something that you’ve made, or come along and see what others are doing. Other items are also welcome; as we have enjoyed some very unusual things brought in by members at earlier events. As usual, you are welcome to bring along some photos for display on our data projector. The club rooms will be open at 10:30am with the event kicking off at 11. Visitors are most welcome.
There are rumours of something brewing in the Central Coast area. It’s not clear exactly what, but it might be a good idea to write down the 5th of May, 2024 in our diaries and keep an ear out for updates.
At the VK2RAG Somersby repeater site, the D-Star, Rad-Net DMR and 2m Echolink services are fully
functional.
The club Web SDR at Somersby. Websdr.ccarc.org.au is configured to listen on 6 metres, 2 metres, 70
centimetres and 23 centimetres.
The Morning Tea Net is run on weekdays at 10:00am and the Weekly net on Thursday at 8:00pm.
Both nets are run on on the VK2RAG repeater – 146.725MHz with a 91.5Hz sub-audible tone, and on the
CCARCNSW and HAM Echolink conferences.
The Thursday evening net is also live video-streamed on the club’s facebook page.
You can find out more about the CCARC, our upcoming social events and other details that we can’t tell you about here on the web at ccarc.org.au, by phone on 02 4340 2500, or on social media by searching for “Central Coast Amateur Radio Club”. Remember to give the club a “like” to follow for any updates.

73, from Alan VK2MG
Publicity Officer, Central Coast Amateur Radio Club.
