At our October meeting, Paul Duer from El Dorado County SAR gave us an overview of the SAR program. Paul listed different way club members can become involved with the SAR program. Paul also told some good rescue stories.
Jay KE6GLA and Bob W1RH show some pictures from their CQP activities and talked about their experiences.
Jordan WC6J shared pictures and stories from his lates SOTA activity in Northern California.
Mike N7MSS updated the club about the latest ARES actions.
Our annual outing to Big Hill for SOTA and POTA had a good turnout. The signup sheet recorded a baker's dozen and I saw few other visitors that were interested in what we were doing with the radios. The weather was great, but a little smoke reduced the visibility. Conditions were not great on 20m and 40m but we found later that 10m was open and we made a good number of contacts. I barely made a summit-to-summit contact to Jordan in Southern California.
We had a full agenda for our September meeting. The turnout was not bat either. In addition to our programs, we discussed upcoming events. Big Hill SOTA and POTA on Saturday the 23rd. Props, Cops & Rodders Saturday the 30th.
