New requirements for ham licenses

New, first time hams, can still use their social security number to put on the form 605, but upgrading hams must have a FRN (Federal Registration Number) which can be obtained from the FCC web site.

The VE test for WARC is given at the WREC, 1101 Little lane, Warminster, PA at 7:00 pm on last Wednesday of the month. For more information contact Larry Abbott WA3ELQ at (215)- 443-7521.

2 Meter Radios Available on Loan (club members only)

The Warminster Amateur Radio Club has purchased four Vertex Standard 2-meter HT’s that are available for use by members of the club. Each unit is equipped with an alkaline battery pack (you supply the six AA cells), a “rubber ducky” antenna, a cigarette lighter power cord, and the instruction book. Needless to say, the WARC repeater is programmed into the memory, but you can use them on any other 2 meter repeater or simplex frequency. Each unit can deliver up to 5 watts output.

The HT’s are available on a month-by-month basis and have been purchased primarily to help new hams get on the air. However, they may also be used by any club member who is in need of temporary 2-meter radio. They are also available for use by participants in WARC’s public service activities. The only requirements are that you must be a licensed ham and a member of Warminster Amateur Radio Club.

If you would like to borrow one of the VX-150’s, contact Rich Luce, AG3L at ag3l@k3dn.org or at 215-441-8264
