May 8, 2008. The Pinal 145.41 repeater that was having problems with key ups has been replaced. The new machine appears to be working quite well. Thanks Joe K7JEM and Larry W7MCO for the work and trip.
The Pinal repeater antenna was replaced March 29th. Many thanks to Milt N5IA and assistants Larry W7MCO and Dave WB7ONJ who went along to help. The original antenna was damaged in an ice storm in January.
Our next club meeting will be held on May 20th at search & rescue in Thatcher.
As of Saturday November 10th, the Greens Peak radio is on the air. As most are aware it is operating on 146.70 with same PL as other EAARS network radios. Coverage appears to be about what we anticipated. For those going to the high country for cooler weather, you should be able to maintain contact with your friends now. Locations such as St Johns, Springerville, Holbrook, Snowflake, Eager, Winslow, Showlow should all work fine. Enjoy. Some photos are available from our home page of various repeater sites of EAARS.
The results of the 2008 election was that the current officers have been retained for another term. Congratulations guys.
We have elected James W1EYE as our net manager for this year. He will run the sunday night net and any other EAARS sponsored net.
The 7QP contest went well over the May 3rd weekend. Several EAARS members came out in support. Some photos of 7QP are available on web site. See Assorted Club Photos. We had four stations on the air. two on SSB, and two on CW. Those that came out in support all said they had a good time. We think we may have blown away the competition based on early postings. Results will be posted when available. Thanks to all that helped out.
The winner of the early dues payment drawing was N7XL Ben Bryce. Congratulations to Ben.
This will be a gift certification to either AES or HRO, his choice.
