The June in-person meeting is coming up and will be held on June 23 @ 7PM. We have invited the members of the Herriman Amateur Radio Club to come share their experiences supporting the Herriman fire.
As usual we will be meeting the Daybreak Community Center and all people interested in Amateur Radio are welcome and invited to attend. We would really like to expand the Oquirrh Lake Radio club beyond the borders of South Jordan and into the surrounding cities. |

February 2011 In-Person Meeting |

For our February in-person meeting we focused on repeaters and how to locate them. Charles discussed a great resource from the ARRL called TravelPlus. It is a software package that allows you to select a given area and distance and see all the repeaters covering the circle. Probably the best feature is the ability to plot a route and to be able to print out a list of repeaters along the way. This would be very helpful for Public Service events or an upcoming road trip. We were unable to show it in the meeting but we also discussed the Utah Repeater Map link on the left side of our webpage. This pulls directly from the Utah VHF society database and plots the results in Google Maps. By click on any of the icons, you can get all of the details for that specific repeater. |

Last night we had our final meeting of 2010. The club sprang for pizza and drinks and we all discussed various topics relating to radio and work. There was also some radio programing going on and a $99 offer for the Wouxun radios from our self proclaimed peddler of radios, Pat N6VLU. If you are interested in getting one or two of those radios please give pat a call, as he is putting together another order...
We also conducted our board elections and the vote determined that the 2010 board would stay on for another year pending any resignations by existing board members.
The Oquirrh Lake Radio Club 2011 Board: | POSITION | NAME
| CALL
| President
| Brett Neilson
| KC7IIB | Vice President
| Charles Gray
| KE6QZU | Treasurer
| Brett Bailey
| KE7MQW | Secretary
| Robert Farr | KD7COM | Net Manager
| Ed Sim
| N7RTA |
As president, I have enjoyed working with the club over the last year and I think we have made some great progress. I will be getting the board together in the coming weeks to talk about lining out some specific goals for 2011. My hope is that at this time next year we can be even more organized, have a larger membership and have built better and more relationships within our community.
I hope all of you have a merry Christmas and a great new year and I hope to see all of you again in January.

Our October meeting focused on batteries. Charles (KE6QZU) reviewed the various types of batteries and the pros and cons of each of them. Those who ordered chargers also were able to pick those up and build the pigtail to attach them to their batteries. We also did a show-n-tell with several different batteries and power solutions that Pat (N6VLU), Ed (N7RTA) and Charles. Also a special thanks to Brett (KF7JAU) for donating several batteries that were brought to the meeting by Charles and distributed to all those who attended.
Our next meeting will be on the THIRD THURSDAY in November and we will be focusing on digital modes and taking nominations for our 2011 Board positions. As a reminder the positions up for election are: President, Vice President, Treasurer, Net Manager & Secretary. If you are interested in holding one of those positions, please attend the November meeting or let one of the existing board members know. |
