The club now has 2 Pentium and 1 Centrino IBM ThinkPad with 1GB memory.
Currently they are running LuBuntu which is a light weight Linux OS. This
may be fine for our needs but N1MM does not have a Linux port for it. I'll
research what logging software is available for Linux. Or these matches
should be able to run Win XP. And we can  possibly lighten up XP by
installing it using something like nLite.

Hi Erich,


We are still short a handful of hams for the Westford Apple Blossom Parade
on the morning of Saturday May 16th.

We could still use a few more hams to make the coverage requirement. The
parade starts around 10 AM near the junction of Graniteville Rd and Main
St. and ending at Abbot School. You will need to be available from
8:30/9:00AM until 11:00AM/noon at the latest. All you need to bring is a 2
meter walkie and some good walking shoes. Most volunteers will be assigned
to "shadow" various members of the AB Parade committee. Our actual duty
will not start till about 9:00AM but we need to get into the center of town
before the roads are closed and we need to establish our assignments by
8:30 AM or so.

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to let you all know that I passed my EXTRA exam with a 98%.  I now live in Florida and my new callsign is KW4JI. My dad was an advanced ham, but he also passed his EXTRA exam at the age of 80.

Templeton CERT will be conducting a CERT Basic Training Course. The
following are the dates and times of each session:

 

June 1   (Mon)     17:00 to 21:00  (4 hrs)

June 2   (Tue)      17:00 to 21:00  (4 hrs)

If you have anyone interested in attending this class, contact me by email
or cell phone.

Hi everyone,

It was good to see many of you at last night's club meeting and it was
great to be in the new space at the Gardner Police Headquarters. Thank you
Paul, W1SEX for arranging that.

Here are just a few notes and information with last night's meeting.

-- Special Event Station at Relay for Life

We need lots of volunteers for setup and operating the special event
station. An online signup sheet has been started at Signup Genius. The link
to sign up is http://goo.gl/n3y7dD

-- SKYWARN

There will be a SKYWARN training coming up next week in Maynard, MA.
Details below.

Wednesday June 3rd 2015 - 7-10 PM

Maynard Public Library - The Roosevelt Room

77 Nason St

Maynard, MA

Taught by: NWS Forecaster
Registration: None Required

More SKYWARN info at www.wx1box.org. And even if you are not a trained
SKYWARN spotter it is important to assist the National Weather Service when
they call for severe weather reports from our area.

-- Field Day

Looks like we are going to run a 4 Alpha station this year by utilizing the
GOTA (Get On The Air) station as a normal station when not in use for GOTA.
We'll have to work out the logistics of that during our next Field Day
planning meeting on June 8th. That said, we will need plenty of help and
operators this year. We will likely set up another online signup page for
Field Day stuff. Stay tuned.

That covers is for now.

A couple things come to mind with running Field Day as 4A. These are my concerns.

1. What class will the Fitchburg club be running for Field Day? If we are to have a friendly competition, running 4A with them running 3A would be unfair and we couldn't have a comparison in our operations.

2. If we do run 4A it would be better to have a fourth station that is separate from the GOTA station so that it could be utilized the entire time.  If it's being shared as GOTA this presents two problems.  First, while Field Day isn't an official contest, we wouldn't have a "competitive" edge in the 4A category since we'd only be "part-time" 4A.  Second, this would also present a logistical problem with logging as the GOTA station call sign must be different from N1WW (our main Field Day call).

1)  The thinking was that instead of having people just sitting around
because the radios were in use, like the last couple years, we'd get them
on the air and use the 4th station as a full station.  If there is a need
for a GOTA station (when/if we get visitors), then it can revert to such.
I'd much rather get more people on and operating than being constrained to
3 stations and having people unable to get air time.  Bill was going to
talk to our friendly competitors.

Frankly, I'm of the opinion that we could run 4A full-time, with an
additional GOTA station using a simple radio/antenna like an IC7000 with a
multiband vertical.  That would simplify things and allow a bunch to get on
the air.

2)  We were never competitive to begin with in 3A, we finished 78th in the
country last year.  If we had entered 4A, even with the score last year we
would have come in 49th.  The score would have been even higher with the
additional station.

I'm thinking we should be the best we can be. Work it out with Fitchburg later. Need to give everyone as much radio time as possible

That all sounds good, I was just wondering if those things were discussed.  I agree that we could run 4A full time too, and just have a separate simple GOTA set-up. That would fix the logging issue. Or since we're going to have 4 stations we could just get rid of the GOTA all together and if anyone from the public wanted to operate they could just use one of the 4 stations with the normal N1WW call.

Hi all,

Yesterday I moved the club trailer to my house in Gardner. We can work on it there to get ready for the Summer events. 

We have a couple meetings scheduled for planning. Both will be at the Gardner EOC (south Gardner Fire Station)

Relay for Life - June 2nd 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Field Day - June 8th 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
