[W6YRA] Joining the club

[Wong, Harold]

Hi Xiaofeng,

This is Harold KM6IVE. Welcome aboard. I hope to get my general sometime this year. I currently work at the hospital but unfortunately, I'm working from home and rarely on W6YRA given how inactive the repeater is. I can get back on for a QSO next week.

Harold

Hi Xiaofeng, and congratulations on getting your license!

We do have a club, but it's not active at present - short version, the
engineering department gave our shack space away to another group and we
have not been able to get back in and use the gear we have.  This was
supposed to be addressed and fixed a couple of years ago by the
gentleman who created the problem in the first place, but he went AWOL
and left the club in limbo.  It's been frustrating, to say the least.
We've got a full HF station, and at one point I had some of my personal
gear up there for 220 MHz, 927 MHz and 440/DMR...  We had some folks
lined-up to donate a couple repeaters (927 and 440/DMR) and we lost all
that because this individual didn't get their * together... oh well.

We do have an analog repeater - it transmits on 448.54 MHz and listens
on 443.54 MHz with a PL of 88.5.  At one time we had remote access to
the repeater via echolink, but that's been down since the other group
pulled the internet access.  I can monitor the repeater from a remote
receiver in my office, but - unfortunately - I live too far away to be
able to use it from home (where I'm likely to be until we're all back on
campus).  When we return to campus, I will be monitoring the repeater
whenever I'm in my office and will probably bring gear in for other
bands and other modes (though I'm essentially in a ground-floor Faraday
cage 8*) ).

So what department are you in?  What are your radio interests?  I have
done a lot of digital communications - Olivia, Thor, FeldHell, PSK and
the various JT modes - though I've been back to doing mostly CW on HF
the last year or so.  On VHF and UHF, I'm mostly on 927 and 440 MHz,
where I do a little DMR and a lot of P25.  I've also dabbled with
satellites, weak-signal modes, and other esoterica...

73 and welcome!    //Brent  wy6s
