I would like to remind everyone that our January meeting will be held this Thursday, 1/4. We will be voting on our slate of officers for 2018. In addition, I will be doing a presentation on linear amplifiers after the vote takes place. It appears increasingly likely that we will be getting some snow late Wednesday and early Thursday, but the current predicted accumulations are on the order of 2-3 inches. However, we will send out a go/no go meeting confirmation via the CTSARA list at 5:00 PM Thursday evening indicating whether or not the meeting will occur. If we have to postpone the meeting, we will likely try to have it on Friday, 1/5.

This will take place in two stages *1. Test your radio* On Weds Dec 27 at 7:30pm and again on Weds Jan 3, get on your local repeater (see below) and try to make contact with us via the repeater. If you don't have an external antenna on your house, try doing it from outside your house. Before Wednesday, you can also just try hitting your local repeater. Example: ?WB2JVB listening on Norwalk 475?. If someone answers, don?t be afraid to have a chat. Just tell them you are new, and they will help you along. On the Wednesdays, Jon or I will call for ?checkins? on the Stamford, Norwalk and Fairfield repeaters, so just listen to the one that is closest to you. *2. Training* On Sat Jan 6 or Sat Jan 13, come by the Norwalk Comm Center (100 Fairfield Ave right off the I-95 northbound exit 14 off-ramp in Norwalk) and we'll be available to talk with you about what kind of antennas you might be able to put on your house or car to make your radio more effective. We'll have examples of various ways of mounting antennas, information about popular base station VHF/UHF vertical antennas for FM operations, and information about popular mobile antennas for cars. We'll also have information (and some examples) of various base/mobile radios that you might want to think about buying to add to your range and convenience. *Local Repeaters* 1. The Norwalk 2 meter repeater is 146.475 (+1 MHz offset, PL 100, W1NLK). 2. The Stamford 2 meter repeater is 146.655 (-600 KHz offset , PL 100 or 114.8, W1EE). 3. The Fairfield 2 meter repeater is 146.625 MHz (-600 KHz offset, PL 100, WB2CQO). If you have a Baofeng or some of the other Chinese radios, we'll have the software and cable to program it for you if you want. We can also help you with programming other kinds of radios (especially if you have the programming cable for the radio). 73 Paul (WB2JVB) and Jon (AI1V) From wb1grb at hotmail.com Wed Jan 3 05:07:57 2018 From: wb1grb at hotmail.com (John Sabini Jr.) Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2018 10:07:57 +0000 Subject: [CTSARA] WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT Message-ID: ...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING ... * WHAT ...Heavy snow and blowing snow possible.
