7. BCAREC Announcements

Welcome to BCAREC - November 10, 2022 4:46 PM

The AIRMAIL server on 145.0100 N8TVU-10 software required update has been completed and the system is back in service. AIRMAIL required the use of "RELAY" that can bridge to other AIRMAIL servers should the internet not be working.

The ARECC needs work performed prior to Field Day 2023. We received a donation of a new 6-160 radio from the Ted Wilson K8TCR family that needs to be installed and setup at OPS-1.

OPS-1 needs the antenna rotor to be replaced or repaired as it is not working after several severe thunderstorms in have been in the area. It seems to be a wiring issue as the rotor does work by back feeding it.

The FT1000 Mark V needs to be installed at OPS-2. The OPS-2 multiband dipole also has issues (high SWR) after a 2021 thunderstorm storm and needs to be repaired. This could be a polyphaser issue.

OPS-3 - needs the FT-1000 setup as a HF digital station. Everything seems to be working as expected and needs no repairs.

OPS-4 - Everything seems to be working as expected and needs no repairs.
