Easter Greeting

April 12, 2020 /

Happy Easter, 

 
As we arrive at this Easter Sunday, We’re reminded of the worldwide celebration of hope and how particularly relevant and necessary that is in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Together, we’re facing a situation unprecedented in our lifetime. This pandemic is affecting all our families, our businesses, our communities, and our way of life.

To those who are sick, we extend our heartfelt wishes for a full recovery. We’ve been truly inspired by the selfless healthcare workers around the world who are on the front lines caring for people in need.
 
Stones River Amateur Radio Club continues on its mission to serve you as our members and continue club business and will host another great online meeting for you in May as we continue to get through this.  
 
As you spend another weekend “sheltering in place,” please take a moment and be thankful for the time with loved ones. I wish you and yours a wonderful Easter.  
 
Marvin Turner – W0MET
President

New DMR Help and Information Pages

February 22, 2020 /

Since our last DMR training, the SRARC has had a large growth in the number of members getting involved with DMR.
As with any new radio or mode, we all have questions and issues. To help with those I have created a new section for DMR Radio on the SRARC Website. The new section is located on the main menu of our website.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be adding helpful information about various problems and solutions along with reviews on various DMR radios and configurations. The price range of DMR radios is wide so I’ll list several options that are worth looking into.
I’m also in the process of creating a Code Plug for the SRARC Members to help you get started using your new DMR Radio. It’ll contain the common digital talkgroups and I’ll be organizing all the VHF/UHF repeaters by distance radiating from the 145.230 W4CAT Lavergne Repeater. As well as the NWS, RC ARES and Mt Juliet Simplex Frequencies.

If you have any suggestions of things you’d like to learn about with DMR please feel free to contact us using the Contact Us form on the website.

Thank You,
Glenn Clute – W1KOM
Stones River Amateur Radio Club Vice President

 Heather Mathis & The Storm 5 Titan Truck coming in March

February 21, 2020 /

For our March Meeting, the SRARC is honored to have Heather Mathis & The Storm 5 Titan Truck.

This is a meeting you’ll want to attend. Heather will give a short presentation on the weather along with how Channel 5 handles and collects and reports the weather in the Middle Tennessee Area.
This meeting is open to anyone interested in ham radio and others interested in joining the SRARC.

Heather’s Channel 5 Bio:

Having grown up in Mt. Juliet with News Channel 5 always on the television, Heather Mathis is thrilled to be back home and a part of the Storm 5 weather team.

Heather can remember the deadly April 1998 tornado outbreak across Middle Tennessee that sparked her fascination with meteorology. Heather is a graduate of Mt. Juliet High School. There, she got her first “job” in broadcasting working for the Bear News Network! Heather attended Middle Tennessee State University and was a weather anchor for the student-run television station throughout college. She earned her degree from MTSU in Broadcast Journalism. Heather also earned a second degree in Meteorology from Mississippi State University.

*The schedule for this event could change if we do happen to have severe weather at the scheduled time.
*As a note, our previously scheduled training class on Raspberry Pi configurations has been postponed.
