Central Coast Amateur Radio Club News – October 29, 2023

The club rooms at Kariong are open on Saturdays from 10:30am. As always, members and visitors are most welcome.

The results from the examinations held at the beginning of the month have arrived and been distributed to those who sat. Congratulations to those who passed.

Last week the club held our monthly show & tell. More of a report next week.

Next Saturday, November 4 at 1pm, the club will be holding it’s regular monthly general meeting. Details have been distributed by email to members.

At the VK2RAG Somersby repeater site, the issue that affected last weeks morning broadcast has been addressed and the D-Star, Rad-Net DMR and 2m Echolink services are fully functional. The 23cm repeater is back on air, linked with the 6m repeater.

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.
