QST: The September Fox Hunt is scheduled for 1:30 QST: The September Fox Hunt is scheduled for 1:30 pm EDT on Sunday, September 15th. As our usual practice, the high power Fox will transmit for 1 minute on and 4 minutes off on the simplex frequency of 146.430 MHZ FM. Once the high power Fox has been localized, there is a 50 milliwatt low power fox that transmits on 2.5 minute intervals on the same frequency. We use the 146.760 MHZ FM repeater in Fort Wayne as our “intercom” when anyone needs help or has other traffic to pass. All are welcome! If you are new to fox hunting, we will be glad to show you the ropes and help you get started! It is a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon having a good time with Amateur Radio! The start location is near the geographical center of Allen County, Indiana. Locals know this as the old K-Mart location on Coliseum Blvd. SEE YOU ON SUNDAY!! #arrl #hamradio #hamradiooperator #amateurradio #amatureradiooperator

The Fort Wayne Radio Club annual Tail Gate Hamfest The Fort Wayne Radio Club annual Tail Gate Hamfest is tonight, August 9, at Purdue Fort Wayne parking garage number 3, second level. Setup starts at 6:00 pm and we get underway at 6:30 pm and go until the last person leaves. This hamfest is FREE to buyers, sellers, and anyone that just wants to come out and see what is going on! We usually have a pretty good turn out, so come on out and see in person the hams you have been talking to on the air! If you have purchased any equipment at our estate sale from the shack of Jack, W9GT, you can come out and pay for and pick up your rig. Anything Amateur Radio or related (like computers; etc.) are OK to sell. One year, someone was selling vegetables from their garden (hey, hams have to eat, too). We look forward to seeing you there! 73, Steve, W9SAN #hamfest #arrl #hamradio #amateurradioclub

We need to know how many of you would like to come out and help setup, operate, eat great food (includes pulled pork this year!!), operate some more, shoot the bull with fellow hams, and help tear down on Sunday. It is a great way to see what Amateur Radio is capable of with stations set up “In the field” under sometimes difficult conditions! In 2012, we arranged to have a Derecho come and pummel the city, but we were still able to get W9TE on the air!! Please contact any BOD member to let us know you are on tap for FD operation! More details will be coming! ON THE AIR MEETING: On Monday night, June 17th, at 7:00 pm on the 146.760 repeater WHEN: Start of setup: Saturday, June 22 at roughly 9:00 am. Operators meeting: at roughly 13:30 pm Start of ARRL Field Day: exactly at 14:00 pm EDT Food event: at 17:30 pm (5:30) bring your appetite!! End of Field Day and start to tear down: Sunday 14:00 pm EDT WHERE: Historic Fort Wayne downtown. Please park at the parking lot on the east side of Spy Run Blvd and use the greenway to safely pass under Spy Run and enter the Fort. Handicapped: contact us for details on how and where to park right at the Fort grounds. See map below! STAY TUNED FOR MORE!!
