The Wildfire near Loera Hills Rd and Waterton Rd has been downgraded to a voluntary evacuation. The EC for our county Sam Hernandez WS6P advises all of us to be especially vigilant and keep our HT and Rig close for any community advisories that the OES may issue. Keep your batteries charged during another dry season facing the state of California

With great sadness Jerry Tannhauser of Tuolumne and TCARES became a silent key from an apparent heart attack. Jerry was our club president from 2018 to 2019. I know many of us here at CARES would like to extend our deepest condolences to his family. In our deepest grief god does send a sign of his love to all of us.

An Enjoyable Day For Bike Riders

image_pdfimage_print

The Calaveras Amateur Radio Society was delegated with the responsibility of monitoring the almost 150 cyclists who participated in the Calaveras Ride And Walk 4 Art. The cyclists had a choice of three treks to choose from a 25 mile route, a 45 mile and a challenging 75 mile trek. Last year the beginning of the Covid pandemic had cancelled the event in 2020. Cyclists exhibited pent up excitement this year to hit the trails again. Our club president Steve Airola would like to extend a job well done, to those radio operators who monitored the cyclists routes.

Antenna Build Project

image_pdfimage_print
It was great to meet the folks in West Point and our County Emergency Coordinator Sam Hernandez who guided us in making our 450 ohm Ladder Line Slim Jim Antenna (pictured above) it fits conveniently in my tactical pack. Pictured in an upright storage position the emergency antenna shows good performance on two meters and 70cm. Plus it was fun to build! Also an open stub J-pole was also available as a project.
