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.
