[CVRC] Red Cross Station Check

[Matthew Parker]

As a reminder, we will be conducting the monthly check of the equipment at 
the Red Cross station this Thursday evening, March 20. We will open the 
station at approximately 6 P.M. and be there until after the NNARS net, 
approximately 8 P.M.

The new HF radio is in place, so this will be an opportunity for all to 
learn its operation. We also have in hand the tubes donated by D. and Roy 
Brite, KB7JZN and KC7QVO, to replace the bad finals in the old TS-520. So, 
as an added attraction, we will be installing these tubes in that radio and 
Gary, K7VY, will be demonstrating the procedure for neutralizing the FA 
section following the installation of new tubes.

Not only will this be an opportunity to meet and get experience in 
operating the equipment at this station, but it will be a good opportunity 
as well for those interested in learning about tinkering with radios.

Anyone interested is welcome to join us Thursday evening. The Chapter House 
is located at 1190 Corporate Boulevard in Reno. For directions you may 
contact me by e-mail, on the 146.61 repeater system, or by telephone at 
425-6102.

73, Matt, N7TOD
