and
its over 135 members are involved in all aspects of amateur
radio. We make a special effort to participate in providing
communications support for public service events, teaching
classes for those who wish to obtain an amateur radio license
or upgrade their license privileges and serving as Volunteer
Examiners as part of the ARRL VEC program. The club was
founded in 1964 and has been designated an ARRL Special
Service Club since 1984.
Day Trip to ARRL This Spring
On Thursday March 22, 2012 we are trying to get a trip together for an afternoon visit to ARRL HQ and see the W1AW and
W1HQ operating stations. We have a handout for the trip in this month's FEEDBACK. So far we have about 10 seats filled, but we
need to fill another 20 on this spacious 54-seat Hagey Coach. Because every seat won't be filled, there is plenty of space to spread
out. Our target is to fill just 30 seats.
Payment - Let's assume that we can easily fill the 47 seat coach. That being the case the cost would be
$45. This includes trip cost and a small gratuity for the driver. The tour company would like a deposit at
contract signing, and the balance paid within 21 days of the trip. Please try, if possible, using the Pay Online at at the top left of the home page on www.k3dn.org site for payment This makes signing up very easy for all. If after paying, you can not
make it, we can refund your money if more than 21 days prior. If after that date, we would need to find
someone to fill the seat so that the WARC isn't on the hook for payment of a empty seat.

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
