LVRAC

Autumn Radio Day – November 8

Time: 8:00 AM
Location: Pioneer Saloon, 310 W. Spring Street, Goodsprings, NV 89019

The Las Vegas Radio Amateur Club has made arrangements with the historic Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings, Nevada to allow the friends and members of LVRAC to setup portable amateur radio gear for a RADIO DAY.

Pioneer Saloon is open from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM and we can utilize the parking lot directly behind the Saloon starting at 8:00 AM.

If you are interested in setting up and operating, send a note directly to Charlie k7cbs@cox.net. But if you just want to take a leisurely drive on Sunday the 8th, come on out to Goodsprings and network with your fellow hams and see the many different “Outdoor Amateur Radio” setups. And feel free to tell your friends and neighbors about the event as the Pioneer Saloon has a reputation for their BURGERS.

Presentation: Contest Operating – Another Look by Steve Loomis (K7EAU)

For many amateurs, their initial exposure to contest operating leaves them with a bad taste in their mouth. Often, this is due to little or no planning and an ignorance of basic contest operating procedures. Done right, contest operating can be a lot of fun. At our November meeting, you can find out how.

Transmitter Hunt

Date: TBD
Time: TBD
Location: TBD

Join us for our next transmitter hunt. Hunts take place at a local park on the third Saturday of the month. One or more transmitters are hidden within the park boundaries. Participants use their own radio direction-finding equipment to track them down.

Everyone is welcome. No amateur radio license is required since participants only receive signals from the hidden transmitters. Bring your family and friends for a fun outdoor activity, friendly competition, and an opportunity to meet amateur radio enthusiasts. Whether you’re an experienced hunter or a beginner, it’s a great way to enjoy the exciting world of transmitter hunting.
