LATEST NEWS

  • May Tech Session! Please join us on Saturday, May 27th from 0900 to 1200 at the Camden County Emergency Operations Center (131 N. Lee Street, Kingsland). This time, NWS Jacksonville will be providing SKYWARN Spotter training as part of our monthly tech session. Class starts at 0900 sharp so please try to be in place at the EOC by 0845 if possible. Early arrival will assist in a smooth start to the presentation and will facilitate the course roster being completed prior to the class start. This training is open to all licensed amateurs in SE Georgia! (05/24/23)

  • Are you ready for our family-style picnic in June? Details are now set and have been forward to all members via their email on file. If you have not received details, please contact a Club Officer. (05/24/23)

  • Field Day will again be held at the EOC this year. The club antenna tower trailer is now 100% road-worthy and will be taken to the EOC for Field Day use. Repairs are also underway on the tri-band beam and we are hoping to have that available for Field Day use as well. There is also a multi-band vertical antenna that needs some TLC and hopefully we can perform this as part of our Tech Session / Field Day activities. (05/24/23)

  • Georgia ARES (GA-ARES) has been working for a number of years to provide DStar coverage over most of the state. K1JHH & W1KFR continue to work with the Region J (Coastal Georgia) Hospital Coalition towards the installation of the VHF/UHF D-Star Repeater. The antenna & feed line are now in place! We are now in the process of programming the computer that will allow Gateway access. Stay tuned for updates!. (03/16/23)

  • Refurbishment of the Camden County ARES station KN4AFG is almost complete. K1JHH continues to work closely with the County EMA and is looking for others to become certified as EOC radio operators to assist with staffing the station during events. Remember, you do not have to be a member of any club to participate in ARES activities!

  • This area of the state is in much need of VHF or UHF Winlink EMail gateways!!. If you look at a map of available stations, Coastal Georgia is empty! They are easier to set up that you might think. Go to www.winlink.org for more information

  • Check out the CCARS Buy-Sell-Swap Forum where local hams can offer gear for sale & trade, or just find stuff you need. Registration and listings are free. Use the link in the menu to the left or click here: CCARS Tailgate
