Texas QSO Party!

E-mail Print PDF

The 2010 Texas QSO Party will take place September 25 & 26 on most HF & VHF bands - both fixed stations & mobile.

There are 254 counties in Texas and many hams will be looking to contact as many of our counties as possible during the QSO party.

Let's get on the air and show our K5RWK ham spirit and some good 'ol Texas hospitality!

Complete details, required exchange (signal report & county), contest times, rules, etc. can be found at:

Sure would be nice for RWK to be well represented in the results.  Fire up that rig, and transmitigate!

 

Get Wired!

E-mail Print PDF

There can't be a subject more near and dear to an amateur radio enthusiast's heart, than wire.  It is the soul of most antenna systems, and the path through which we participate in the spectrum.  Yet surprisingly, the ways of wire remain a mystery to many hams.

Shocking! Yes, it's shocking I know.  How could we arrive at this state of affairs?

Well, have no fear.  This month, RWK will present "Wire - A lengthy Subject" at the monthly meeting.  Our own Dave Russell (W2DMR) and Forest Cummings (W5LQU) will dive deep into the subject of wire, and information sufficient to elevate you from your current state of wire-wonderment, and help you down the road to better antennas, less-lossy feedlines, and a state of wired grace.

The fun starts September 13th at 7:00pm at the Richardson Wireless Klub's monthly meeting, held at the St. Barnabas Church on Belt Line in Richardson.  Y'all come!

Pretty ironic for a "wireless" club, right?

Once again, our illustrious publisher Dick Morgan (K6RAH) has been busy, so take a gander at the September 2010 Edition of the Chawed Rag.  All the news that's fit to print, some that isn't, and a whole bunch of stuff in between.
