Ham Radio Tours The Universe at World Science Fiction Convention

August 31, 2004 - by admin - Leave a Comment

Ham radio is on the program for the World Science Fiction Convention being held in Boston September 2-6. Special features for ham radio operators will include:

1. A special interest group meeting covering the past connection of ham radio and science fiction, the future plans for ham radio in space, and radio resources for convention attendees in the Boston area.

2. A list of recommended simplex and repeater frequencies for convention attendees, including times when nets are scheduled on each repeater. This should avoid conflicts with normal operations. For other interested hams, the suggested simplex frequencies are 146.565, 147.42, and 446.000.

3. A check-in board for ham attendees, even if they don\’t have their equipment along.

4. A chance for convention attendees to be part of the Maxim 135th birthday operating event: local hams attending include League appointees qualified to act as special event stations.

The World Science Fiction Convention is an annual event involving roughly 6,000 attendees from all over the world. A major part of the event is the Hugo awards (roughly the same prestige as the Oscars) named for Hugo Gernsback who published the first science fiction magazine and who was the first person (in 1906) to sell complete ham radio stations. Obviously, ham radio is modern science fiction\’s older brother.

CEMARC Meeting September 18, 2004 at the USS Salem ARC

August 25, 2004February 25, 2018 - by admin - Leave a Comment

Council of Eastern MA ARCs logo Frank Murphy, N1DHW writes on CEMARC-list:

Well, summer is almost over, kids will be going to school, lawn mowers put away and shovels put near the back door. Sound depressing? It is.

But the good news is that we’ll end the summer with a CEMARC meeting on board the USS Salem in Quincy. That’s right, the September 18th CEMARC meeting will be hosted by the USS Salem Radio Club. The club has volunteered to host the meeting, provide lunch, and give all a tour of the ship’s radio rooms.

I’m sure that there will be plenty to discuss and review since we last met. It’s been a very busy summer for all ham radio in Eastern Mass. and the country. Of course we can expect Pi to bring us up to date on this summer¹s USS Salem Scouting activities, but in addition, here’s an opportunity for all clubs in attendance to boast of their own accomplishments / activities over the long summer. You might also bring along a list to share of planned club activities / speaker¹s your club has scheduled for this season.

So, please join us at your CEMARC meeting on September 18, 2004 starting at 0900 hrs., lunch at noon, a radio room tour, and some time for enjoying old friendships after.

For those arriving early, the SATERN group has volunteered to have coffee/tea/hot chocolate available on the pier to help start the day off, and will provide talk-in on the Boston 145.23-/88.5 repeater.

Remember, CEMARC meetings are open to all club members.

Detailed driving directions are available on the USS Salem Web Site at http://www.uss-salem.org/visitor_information.htm

If you have an item you’d like placed on the meeting’s agenda, please forward it to me at:

All Looking for Anyone doing any work with Florida Hurricane Relief August 16, 2004 - by admin - Leave a Comment I\’ve been contacted through State Officials by Boston Media outlet looking for Amateur Radio Operators doing any work with the Hurricane Relief in Florida. This has a short fuse, like I\’d like to hear from somebody today 8/16 if they have a local angle on this.

Most tasks are light duty like selling and checking tickets and security but it makes Boxboro tick. Any volunteers for 2 hours or more on Saturday and/or Sunday also get lunch voucher!

All Ipswich Amateurs Receive Great PR For DNC Coverage August 6, 2004 - by admin - Leave a Comment Chuck Cooper, K1CHC writes: “In case some of you have not bought today’s copy of the Ipswich Chronicle, I have included a link to it here. The local reporter, Faith Tomei, wrote a nice story about Ipswich EM activities during the DNC. It certainly gave good coverage to ham radio and what we are trying to accomplish with emergency communications. Needless to say, we could not have done what we did without your support. Job well done by all.” (Photo by Faith Tomei) All / Organization EMa Section Risk Summary NEW!
