The below listed link is the ARRL announcement. Please take the time to do at least one ham radio related thing today. Get on the radio, call a fellow ham, or better yet tell someone you think might be interested about ham radio. Our community is beginning to grow and we need to support local and international relationships in ham radio to secure our continued use of the frequencies that would be stripped from us by greedy sectors of our government. Be proud of your HAM RADIO heritage and take some time to show it. ARRL Announcement: http://www.arrl.org/news/it-s-world-amateur-radio-day Thank you all for the support that you give to the Lakeland Amateur Radio Club, LARC. Your past and continued support of LARC is why we are continuing to grow. Many clubs have failed to grow because of a lack of participation. Look around at our meetings and you will see new faces that are here because of all of you. The friendly atmosphere, a willingness to extend the hand of friendship, and taking the time to assist those in need in our community is why we continue to thrive and grow.

The input of K4LKL is both digital and FM. Its output is all FM. The EPARS repeater in Dade City, 146.880, is setup for both at one time. FM in FM out and Digital in Digital out. You need to activate tone squelch to keep from hearing the digital if you are on FM. I have used that one from the house and mobile. The most activity is FM but there is an influx of digital on the weekends and evenings. Two different modes using the repeater at the same time. It works nicely. The Fusion movement is the same as different modes have always been. In the 60s AMers were all aghast at the SSB stations that were invading their space. The SSB mode would surely never catch on. Why would anyone want to sound like Donald Duck when you were not tuned properly. AM now resides in the bands as nostalgia with a hardcore group of individuals that keep the mode alive. I am glad they keep it going. Digital modes come with each new manufacturers idea of what the digital standard should be. Only time will tell how this plays out. I have gotten into the fusion mode with a FT1DR and an FTM400DR. They do both FM and digital with an added bonus of APRS. I will tend to play with the trend as I only get to make this trip one time. I have been a ham for 50 years and as with all good things my radio years will fade. I hope to have several blocks checked in my ham radio career before my block is checked. I don?t know if that helps but it is the way I choose to conduct my hobby efforts. Remember there is always EME (Moonbounce), satellites, and JT9. I will look around and gather some information for you and anyone else interested.

Message-ID: <005e01d19bd4$cf1ab0e0$6d5012a0$@tampabay.rr.com> For those that are following SolarImpulse flight around the world they are going to launch from Hawaii in about 20 minutes. Use the link I sent earlier to watch live coverage. Solar powered aircraft that is flying around the world in low legs. Today starts the flight from Hawaii to Moffett Airport, Mountain View, California. They have rolled it out and are assessing the changing winds. I believe the flight will be 5 days to California.

The wires-x is set up for the digital side of the repeater. It is linked to the YAESU System Fusion network. This is the only repeater that I know of that is on Wires X in the WCF area. I invite anyone with a fusion radio to use the repeater/node. Feel free to change rooms via YOUR radio. Come play with it and enjoy the Fusion experience.? ????There is another Digital repeater on 145.330. WA4GDN/R Gulf Coast Amateur Radio Club. in Land-o-lakes. http://gulfcoastara.org? ????On the digital side of this repeater it is currently linked to the reflector FCS1 module 6, which is the USA 'room' on that network.

(Location: First Presbyterian Church, 175 Lake Hollingsworth Dr, Lakeland, FL 33801) We will meet at the church at approx. 8am that is the setup time. You can arrive a bit earlier 7:45 if you want to get a good parking place. We will be operating on the LARC repeater frequency 146.685 with a PL tone of 127.3 Once you park just proceed to the front of the church and you will find the group from LARC. The walk this year will be around just Lake Hollingsworth and we should wrap up around 11am. Bring yourself and a WT and that is all you need. If anyone needs a radio we will have a couple of extras.

On the hunt for any current Technician manuals - we have a new Polk County CERT group that was recently trained and a few of the group have inquired about becoming Hams. If you have a current Technician manual laying around that you would like to donate to the cause, please bring it to the next meeting and I will make sure it gets used. Who knows - might even get some new members out of this! VISTI - we will be collecting for VISTI again at the May meeting. Food items, personal items, pet food - and yes, even cash (checks made out to VISTI) would be appreciated. I will be there to collect and will make sure to get it to VISTI ASAP. 73's - see y'all at the May meeting.
