Welcome to my ham radio youth workshop series! Learn how to be a good elmer, inspire young people, and share your passion for amateur radio. We need your help to make amateur radio a fun and welcoming place for youth!
This week – What are kids doing these days?! How can we use their interests and passions to give them a reason to get into ham radio, or STEM in general?
#Ham #Radio #Simplex #2MC
2MC ANTI-NET EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 7PM PST
Join us on the repeater, both FM and digital and then jump into our open Zoom!
INFO: Channel 2 for the Anti-Nets if this one is down will be over on Nick’s / KN6DAL channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQ5mDcc4zlgdW10hy3c5Fg
This is not a net in the traditional way and everyone is a visitor. We take check-ins so we can circle back to people and give them a chance to chat. There is a Facebook Group to join under “2MC”.
EchoLink and AllStar was added in the beginning of 2020 to allow people globally to check in and join the fun. Also, we leave the links up all the time. So feel free to key up the repeater anytime.
Primary EchoLink is W6VVR-R and Secondary is WG5EEK-L. You can also use our AllStar Node 51094
Live AllStar/EchoLink website & more: https://WG5EEK.com
A huge thank you to the Vaca Valley Radio Club – W6VVR for the use of the repeater. It’s a great machine sitting on top of Mt. Vaca around 2,800 feet high, about 60 miles East from San Francisco. Link to club’s website: https://w6vvr.net/
