morse_code_cw_santa_christmas_card_to_customize-p137271693770881917en8ck_325Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! This is a busy time of year, and we’re doing our best to keep all our regular activities going throughout the next two weeks with a couple of exceptions. The Technical Mentoring and Elmering Nets for the next two weeks fall on Christmas and New Year’s Eves. So participation would probably be pretty sparse so we decided to skip them. We’ll start them back up on on January 7th, 2016.

Since we are at the end of the year, it is time for many of us to renew our memberships! So while you are here, this would be a good time to renew and help your club. It is still only $24 a year and you can renew online using PayPal or a credit card here.

The Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club wishes you a very Merry Christmas and a happy and productive new year!

Post expires at 4:00pm on Friday January 1st, 2016 but will still be available in the archives.

The audio archive can best followed by downloading the .mp3 file for the appropriate date here and listening with the media player of your choice. You can move the progress slider forward or backward to the subject of interest to you.

A great net tonight with 12 check-ins, net control (Levi, K6LCM) and 5 chat room visitors! Tonight’s subjects included:

  • Should net controllers for the TM&E net use their own unique thoughts and words or keep with the standard protocol that’s been used for the last 7-8 years?
  • Which are the best rechargeable batteries for HTs as an example?
  • Why do we use “Q” codes during voice contacts versus just with CW?

Tune in to the SBARC TM&E Net next Thursday at 8:00 PM (2000 Hrs) and see what interesting questions will arise or ask some of your own! All club members and visitors are encouraged to check in to the TM&E net each week and join in with questions and /or answers to and contribute the knowledge of new and seasoned amateur radio operators alike.
