Joe Reynolds, KA1GDQ, writes:The Hanscom Radio Club, a fairly new club at Hanscom AFB, is now active on the web. We have a facebook page and now a new website (still under construction) but it gets out what we are up to.
We are looking for Yaesu System Fusion repeaters that can be clearly hit from a mobile running 50 watts or less from the nearest military installation to join our Armed Forces Amateur Repeater Network (AFARN).
The AFARN will be used for general amateur communications, health and welfare messages in time of natural disasters, or other events, general Nation Traffic System message handling, and staying in contact with your friends and family at your previous military location, or your home location.
All inquiries can be sent to info@k1afb.com, or they can call KA1GDQ’s Google Voice 508-658-2240 or they can call the Hanscom Radio Club’s NEXNET ext 4500.
