The Clarksville Operating Radio Enthusiasts will be demonstrating the radio arts when they activate W4CHM from the Coca Cola Cafe at the Customs House Museum for The Internation Museums Weekend/Museums on the air event on June 19 2010 from 11:00 am until 4:00 pm.
We will be demonstrating Voice and digital as well as perhaps CW/Morse Code.
For those interested in obtaining their Amateur Radio License C.O.R.E. will be sponsoring a testing session in the downstairs classroom of the Customs House Museum from 11:00 am until 12:30 pm. Test candidates will need to photo ID to the testing session. Those upgrading will need their current Amateur Radio license OR a valid CSCE from your previous test.
C.O.R.E. is looking forward to seeing those who will be testing as well as ANYONE who wants to stop by the Coca Cola Cafe and learn more about Amateur Radio.
See You There

N3ORX’s 6 meter presentation was well received at this month’s C.O.R.E. Meeting and in an effort to keep up the momentum and foster interest and experimentation with the 6 meter band Hank has offered to host a 6 meter net/test session on Thursday April 22 2010 at 8 PM. The net will be held on SSB on a frequency of 50.140 simplex.
This will be an opportunity for all amateurs with an interest in operating on 6 meters to test out their rigs and antennas without having to wait for a 6 meter band opening.
All amateurs are invited to check into this net.
Anyone with questions regarding this net please contact Hank Koebler (N3ORX) directly at n3orx@arrl.org.
The Clarksville Operating Radio Enthusiasts meeting will be tonight, April 13 2010 starting at 6:30 PM at the Park Lane Church of the Nazarene. All Amateurs are invited to attend.
We will be treated to a presentation from Hank Koebler(N3ORX) on propagation and operation on 6 meters.
