Monthly Meeting
The May meeting at the Lodge has been cancelled; instead we will meet at
7:30 PM for a tour of the Cortland County 911 Center.
The 911 Center is located at 22 West Court St in Cortland, the former
Niagara Mohawk building for us old-tymers. Please note that on-site
parking is NOT available. Parking will be on-street (NOT directly in
front of the building) or in the city parking lot off Haskell Place
behind the Brick Oven Pub.
We hope to see you there!
Events Coming Soon
Dam-8 Deruyter NY —–Help Needed
Hams are needed to provide coverage for the Dam 8 – 8K run in DeRuyter NY happening Sunday May 17th. Hams should arrive at 9:30 AM or a few minutes before. This run is back to being just an 8K – no 1/2 marathon this year. We will meet at Glisson’s Country Store, 261 East Lake Rd in DeRuyter. We will use 147.420 simplex, so a mobile radio with a good antenna will be helpful. This event is in a rural area, so plan on being self-sufficient for the duration. This is a smaller event, 6 – 8 hams will be sufficient. Please let me know if you can or can not be there. For info or information reply to this e-mail or call 315-395-7640. For info: thedam8.com. Thank you!
SARC Club activity Saturday May 23rd
We are in the process of organizing a Ham Radio demonstration primarily aimed at the youth of the county. We will be setting up at the pavilion on the ball field near the Truxton Town Hall on Chenango Rd in Truxton. We’d like to have radios on the air by 10 AM and operate until 2 PM or so. There is a covered pavilion that we will be using. Plans include one or two HF stations and a VHF – UHF station. Plans are still in the works. Please RSVP to kb2luv@arrl.net; let me know if you CAN or CAN NOT attend. Contact Matthew Lawrence for information at hydrodog1738@gmail.com.
Thank You from all of us here at Skyline Amateur Radio Club for your support and we hope to see you in June @ the Cortland Hamfest. Best wishes and please stay safe
