the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) SKYWARN program, and the Military Affiliate
Radio System (MARS).

The club is actively seeking the donation of
equipment and materials to build a new club station. We would like
to acquire antenna wire, transmission line, both ladder and
coax, HF and VHF antennas and tuners, HF and VHF rigs, and an HF
amplifier.
TOWER SECTIONS
The club
is seeking
used Rohn RG25 tower sections (in good condition) to assist members
in constructing their home stations.
SDR (Software Defined
Radios)
Software defined radios
represent some of the latest and greatest technology for amateur
radio enthusiasts. Some of our members are experimenting with software
defined radios such as KB9YIG Tony Parks' Softrock Lite SDR receivers
and Softrock RXTX version 6.2 SDR transcievers. Check out this
technology on our 'projects'
webpage.
