Better than…
One of the traditional values of
DELARA has been its ‘family’ nature.
While there are experts and
interests in many RF fields, the
overriding impression you’ll get
from almost every club meeting
and club net is how great our
friendships are, and how we care
for each other.
Never before has this been proven
to the extent that we can observe
during the shutdown of 2020 and
beyond. Thanks specifically to
President Mike, W8MDC, who
became our intrepid “Nightly
Informal Net” manager. This
gathering started as a way to
combat the doldrums of COVID
home bound members, but has
grown into a pleasant wayt to touch
base every evening. Thanks also to
Bob, W8ERD who along with Larry,
AC8YE created the digital practice
net. Born in preparation for the
October ARES Simulated
Emergency Test, this gang of the
digital persuasion has been
developing their skills at computer
based communication on VHF and
HF frequencies, using fldigi’s
program suite as well as Winlink (by
which one can send email over RF
to any email address in the world.)
Add to that the now regular
Wednesday evening Zoom meeting-
where all members can gather to
watch, pass the time, and comment
on topics of their interest. It almost
makes “club meetings” a thing of
the past!
Get involved! We hope to hear from
you!
