UPCOMING EVENTS

BIG NEWS: ORCA now has an EchoLinkIRLP node up and running on the 440 MHz repeater.  This will allow users to access hundreds of US and international repeaters through both the EchoLink and IRLP (Internet Radio Linking Project) systems.  These systems use the internet to connect repeaters throughout the world and offer armchair DX contacts with a handheld!  See the link in the left column for more information.

SEPT MEETING: The Sept. meeting will be held on Sept. 11, the second Saturday, due to the holiday weekend.  The program is still under development, but we are planning on having the buisness meeting at the regular time and location.  After that we are looking to adjourn to a local park for a barbecue lunch and demonstration of portable radio equipment.  Think of it as  an afternoon Field Day.  Stay tuned for further details.

Meetings are held the first Saturday of each month (except July) at 9:00 AM in the media room of Oakland Fire Station No. 1 located at 1605 Martin Luther King Jr. Way (between 16th and 17th Streets) in Oakland.
