Results of May 3, 2025 Simplex Net


The Simplex Net on May 3rd was a big success.  Thank you to all who participated in this.  We are reviewing the results as they are written into the spreadsheet.  This exercise and the information generated by it has the potential to make simplex communications in the event of an emergency much more practicable and gives us a good idea of viable simplex paths with our neighbors.  Please keep your simplex skills sharp. We will schedule periodic simplex exercises going forward to keep our abilities "in tune".

Yaesu Announces New QRP Rig


There is quite a bit of buzz going on out there now about Yaesu's latest annonuncment, the  FTX-1 Series QRP radio. The radio is apparently going to be available in at least two configurations with price points of around $1,500 for the FTX-1 Field to around $1,900 for the FTX-1 Optima, which will come with a 100 watt amplifier. These radios come with a 6400 mAh Li-Ion battery. The major distributors are taking reservations now. Is this machine the next POTA favorite??

Use the Local Repeaters!


We are lucky to have several first-class repeaters to use for 2-meter work in our area.  Feel free to get onto these machines and use them.  Activity on these repeaters:

  • promotes participation in ham radio in the area
  • helps keep us familiar with them and ensure their status in the event of a need to use them for emergency purposes
  • encourages community and camaraderie among hams in the area, and 
  • just makes ham radio around here more fun in general.


Thanks for actively keeping them in use.  See the "Repeaters and Nets" page for more information.
