NEW ITEMS --------------
FIELD DAY 2008
Station Locator Service New for Field Day 2008 (Mar 29, 2008)
This year, for the first time, the ARRL has put together a Station Locator to help amateurs or those interested in Amateur Radio find a Field Day site near them. According to ARRL Field Day Manager Dan Henderson, N1ND, many amateurs have been asking for something like this for many years.
The full story is here. The Locator is here.
Please include a phone number when you add your Field Day site.
Here are the 2008 Field Day Rules. Send in your club plans for 2008.
See the 2007 Section Field Day Site List
AMATEUR RADIO TECHNOLOGY DAY
April 5, 2008 will be the April monthly AM-TECH Day for 2008.
One Saturday a month at the Stanford Linear Accelerator on Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park.
Please check out the Am-Tech Day Web site.
Sponsored by the Foothills ARS.
USE THE SECTION WIKI
In addition to reading SCV news here, get in the habit of visiting the SCV Section Wiki.
We will be moving some content from this page to the new section wiki. During the transition period there may be some duplication on both web sites. The wiki allows more input from hams throughout the SCV section. To set up an account on the site send a email to Frank, Tom or myself.
