Almost Final Update on the W7ASC Ham Shack move! This is the "official" schedule. The Science center has posted their Calendar Highlights for July thru September. W7ASC is moving up to the third floor in the new "My Digital World" area. "My Digital World" will open for ASC member preview Saturday August 30 and Sunday August 31st (10:00AM to 5:00PM). The W7ASC New Shack Grand Opening will be Monday September 1st. We plan to have capability for almost all of the new digital modes, including digital voice, SSTV, etc. Don't forget that Morse Code is one of the FIRST and oldest digital modes!
We expect to close the W7ASC Shack from Saturday August 9th thru to Friday August 29th for installation, equipment checkout, antenna checkout, and training. Volunteers will be needed to help get the new shack up and running. W7ASC "Summer Hours" will be in effect thru to Friday 8/8.
The General License Class at the Science Center starts July 26th, the weekend after the Williams Hamfest. So far we have 14 students signed up. Give me a call or e-mail if you are interested.
We are still looking for more W7ASC volunteers. We will need Volunteers for 2 shifts per day (9:00-1:00 and 1:00-5:00) after Labor Day. Spread the word at your Ham Club. Call 480-961-1109 and volunteer now. A Volunteer sign-up page is available at www.w7asc.org We hope to have an updated presentation available in mid September for the valley Ham clubs and posted on the W7ASC.ORG web page.
