Final Word on 2015 Public Service

Only one public service event remains on the calendar for 2015.  The Toys for Tots is a nationwide campaign by the United States Marine Corps that benefits children of low-income families.  The Tulsa Toy Run is conducted by ABATE to provide toys for children in the Tulsa Metro.  TARC helps to line up the motorcycles, some of which are quite interesting!

THANK YOU to everyone who has or will help with public service in 2015, no matter which club organizes the comm support!

APRS & Soundcard Modem Training  Saturday 12 DEC 15 1300 – 1500 hrs.

The Tulsa Digital Radio Club will be having a training session from 1 PM to 3 PM on Saturday, December 12th to cover APRS and Soundcard Modem setup.  Location is the Broken Arrow Central Library at 300 W. Broadway.

If you've never done APRS before because you didn't have a TNC, that shouldn't stop you.  We'll show you how to get APRS running using the UZ7HO sound modem or Dire Wolf program with a variety of radios.  Feel free to bring a computer and radio to the training session as it will be "hands on".

If you plan on attending, please RSVP to Jeff Scoville, AE5ME at ae5me@yahoo.com with your radio model and computer operating system so that we can prepare for that particular combination.

Oklahoma Statewide APRS Net

Quick reminder that the statewide APRS net is coming up this Saturday, December 12th at 1 PM.  Net control will be KD5NJR.

We will be conducting the net from the TDRC presentation on APRS and UZ7HO soundcard modem at the Broken Arrow Central Library at 300 W. Broadway in Broken Arrow.  If you have never used APRS, this is an excellent opportunity to see someone in person running a portable APRS station and soundcard modem combination.  Scott will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

To assist the net in having maximum coverage, we are asking for "associate net control" stations in the following locations:

 

OKC Metro, within 30 miles of W5LHG IGATE.

 

Guymon, within 50 miles of KB5IIM-15 IGATE.

 

Enid, within 30 miles of  K0WHN IGATE.

 

Bartlesville, within 30 miles of KE9XB IGATE.

 

McAlester, within 30 miles of W5CUQ-10 IGATE (believe it is still an IGATE).

 

Buffalo, within 50 miles of WL7II IGATE.

 

Altus, within 50 miles of N5VX-10 IGATE.

 

Your main job will be sending out an APRS bulletin announcing the net and directing check-ins to the KD5NJR net control station.  Not every location is served by bi-directional I-gates, so this will be a way to serve the outlying areas and insure the net control message is making it to those areas.  If you are interested in being an associate net control for one of these locations, please email me at ae5me@yahoo.com, and I will provide you more details.
