UCARES

Interface and First Ham Night will be June 23rd at 1900 hrs in room 2295 of the BYU Conference Center.  Interface will include discussion about the Freedom Festival Parade.  All of those planning on being in the parade need to be at this meeting.  Those who are new to amateur radio, come and rub shoulders with those who have had different experiences, successes as well as down turns.   Bring your radios and learn how to use them from others. We hope to see you there.

Clark Cox KA6PIZ, Interface Coordinator

June 23rd is the third Tuesday of the week which is set aside for New Ham night, but for June, this will be the Freedom Festival Interface.

This meeting will be at the BYU Conference Center at 1900 (7pm) in Rm 2295.  We encourage all new hams to come and mingle with those participating in this , the biggest event UCARES supports each year.  With seventy plus hams participating, it’s a great opportunity to practice your radio skills and have fun.  The BYU Conference Center/Harmon Bldg is located east of the Marriott Center on University Parkway by 900 E.  The road west of the Marriott Center (450 E), east of Miller Field,  is closed so plan accordingly if you like to come up the hill from Bulldog Ave.  We welcome all our recent new hams from the last test session and any new ARES members, or those interested in ARES, to join us and meet your Ut. Co. neighbors.

Talk in will be on the 147.34 repeater.

Tuesday, June 16 will be the next Young Ladies Net at 7pm (1900) on the 147.340 repeater.  The regular UCARES Net will be at 9pm (2100).

We encourage all lady hams to join in this third Tuesday of the month net and get on the air.

The Timpanogos Emergency Response Team (TERT) Outdoor Training will be meeting on Saturday, May 30 (the weekend after Memorial Day) at the Theater In The Pines at Aspen Grove at 09:00-13:00.  This counts as a UCARES SET.  Come see how ham radio supports TERT.  For more info on them, go to www.TERT.org  .

The UCARES Woman’s Net  will be Tuesday, May 19th at 7pm on the 147.340 (100.0 Hz) repeater.

May 5th at 1900 HRS will be Interface. The Orem City Fire Marshall will arrange a lecture and instruction night on firework safety and what we will need to know regarding the Orem City Fire Works Display at the end of May. All of those planning to volunteer for this event or for the July 24th fireworks event in Spanish Fork, need to be at this meeting.

The fault on the 147.34MHz UCARES repeater has been repaired and the repeater can now be used normally. Don’t forget that the 147.28MHz and 145.23MHz repeaters are open for use too. Weekly training nets will continue on the .34 repeater.

Thanks to the repeater committee members who made the trips to the repeater sites to restore service.

Due to problems with .34 and .23 repeaters, the Thursday night RACES Net will be on the 449.475 repeater (negative offset) 100.0 Hz.

Due to a fault on the 147.34MHz UCARES repeater please refrain from using the repeater until further notice. Instead, use the 147.28MHz repeater (positive offset, 141.3Hz tone). For the time-being the 147.28MHz repeater will be the primary choice for UCARES weekly training nets unless otherwise advised.
