General Club Meeting – March 18, 2022

I was hoping to have an in-person meeting this month, but this meeting will be better over Zoom as I am going to need to demonstrate some things on the computer. This works much better over Zoom.

We have changed our membership system and it is now incorporated within the website. Joining SBARC or renewing your membership will be much easier from now on. We’ve added lots of new things and I want to explain them in detail and answer any questions members may have. A lot of hours have gone into this and we went to make sure we’ve done it well so live member feedback will be very valuable.

If we have time, I also want to talk a little about AllStar. We have several members who have retired and/or moved away and would still like to keep in touch and participate in nets. We disabled EchoLink quote awhile back because it caused problems but AllStar is still available and a much better option for keeping in touch remotely. Plus it opens a whole new world of operating.

This is a “do not miss” meeting, so we hope we can get as many of you as possible. Here the details:

Please note that we are including a passcode you you don’t need to wait to be admitted.

Yaesu VX-7R transceiver

For Sale: Yaesu VX-7R transceiver. It needs a new battery, but in all other respects, it’s fully functional. The radio includes extras like a programming cable, a 12V car adapter, and a speaker/mic. I’ll add a mag-mount dual-band antenna with the adapter cable to connect it to the radio. I’m asking $225 for the package. (Listed 3-11-2022) Picture
