GSARA: Celebrating 50 Years as a Member Club of the ARRL

Propagator editor needed

Our club is in search of a new editor for the Propagator. As you may have read in the December Propagator, our long time editor Bob Buus, W2OD is retiring from his role as the editor after 30 years of service to the club. The Propagator has been around a long time and evolved as time passed to be what it is today. He has been very generous with his time and dedication as the editor of which always of us are very grateful. If you are interested or would like to find out more in what’s involved please let myself and Bob know. Time is of the essence as this is the last Propagator unless a club member steps up.

Remote Hams repaired

Greetings to All GSARA Members —
I’m pleased to report that, thanks to the efforts of Vladimir AC2F, Ryu K2RYU and Jim K2EI, the Remote Hams antenna has been repaired. GSARA members are welcome to use the Remote Hams system again for transmit as well as receive.
I’ve made test transmissions on all HF bands in CW mode using the repaired antenna, and the radio/tuner appears to load the antenna correctly. If you encounter any problems when using the GSARA Remote Hams system please let me know.
73, Paul, ad7i

Frequently Asked Questions

No. All you need is to be interested in amateur radio and you will be invited and encouraged to take part in all club activities. Of course, to operate in the shack, you will need a license if you are operating without a properly-licensed amateur in the shack with you.
You will be a part of a very active club that is friendly and welcoming. We have many events throughout the year including HamFests, Ham of the Year celebrations, an open shack for you to operate from, stimulating general meetings which always have an interesting program, professional business meetings, testing sessions for hams wanting to upgrade or get a new license, Field Day, equipment loaning program, Elmering program, and much more.
Yes! The members of the club have a wide variety of ham radio and technical expertise. Everyone is most enthusiastic to help you with your next project or explain something to you. We have many technical experts, to be sure. But we also have people who operate in the full spectrum on ham radio: digital modes, radio astronomy, Morse Code, single sideband phone, AM, amateur television, public service events, contesting, building their own equipment and using ham radio with computers. If you have an interest in something, the chances are pretty good someone can help you get started or be a sounding board for your own ideas.
