Greetings all in the club from AD5IY, temporarily in Hawaii! Wish I had some civilian transmitting gear to try to get some QSOs during my free time. But applying a lot of Amateur Radio Knowledge while learning how to be a COMMO for a JPAC Mission using HF! EXTREMELY fun and getting hands on with a B&W90 and a Harris manpack HF using only 20W to go 900 miles (Digital - 3G/ALE) in mountainous terrain.

Hi guys, I had planned on actually attending the meeting tonight, but forgot family is flying in this afternoon. I will start making more meetings, especially now that I have seriously decided to stay in the area. Bought a house... :)

If you did not know, there are several members of VADXCC (and the Beach Club) at Gitmo as of yesterday for several days. They are on multiple bands and modes. So here is your chance to get Gitmo in your logs. Check the various bullentin boards for spotting.

Greetings club, from Cornwall, UK! Met with many members of a local Ham Club. They have their meetings every two weeks! Mostly it seems to just be an in person get together, as well as a weekly net on GB3NC Repeater. (Echolink operational!) Brought my FT- 817 but do not have a British compatible charger. Oh well.

I am surprised no one mentioned by email or on the website that John Smith, W4HDW, passed away on Sept 14th. He is scheduled to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery on Nov 1st. His Obit requests donations be made to VBARC.

This site is dedicated to honoring the memory of Robert G. Siff (Uncle Bob) 1919-2006.

Uncle Bob was a political activist and supporter of the Sarasota Senior Center. His memory will live on through those that knew him and those that share his ideals.
Wakefield SKYWARN
Local Ham Clubs
The Wakefield SKYWARN Amateur Radio Support Team exists to help facilitate communication between Trained SKYWARN Spotters in the amateur radio community and the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Wakefield, Virginia.

The efficient collection of severe weather reports via amateur radio frees critical NWS staff from answering phones and allows them to focus on assessing weather scenarios and issuing appropriate warnings while still receiving necessary reports from Spotters in the field.

The Wakefield SKYWARN Amateur Radio Support Team exists to maintain and staff the amateur radio station at the National Weather Service Forecast Office, call sign WX4AKQ. The Team also continually works to grow and support a number of Trained Skywarn Net Control Stations who can run local subnets remotely and Trained Responders who can quickly and effectively operate WX4AKQ inside the Forecast Office.
