Introduction

Introduction

Bob Burleson, KG7QJ, is editor of the Arizona Desert AireWaves (ADAW) column for the Center for Amateur Radio Learning (CARL), the club that maintains and runs the amateur radio exhibit at the Arizona Science Center in downtown Phoenix under the call sign of W7ASC.

You may contact Bob if you are interested in volunteering your time for a few hours of one day per week helping man the station's ham shack.  His contact info is at the end of the news column below.

June 2009 W7ASC Column

A correction to last month's W7ASC ADAW in the "getting the call sign right" department:  Steve (KY7W) and his AZ DESERT 10-10 VE crew administered the Tech tests.  I had inadvertently used Steve's old call.  Also one of our students William KF7BVO now has his Extra class license!  The next General Amateur License class will start Saturday, July 25th 2009, 10AM to 1:00PM at the Arizona Science Center Boardroom "A" (600 E. Washington St, downtown Phoenix).  Give me a call or email if you are interested.

Our quarterly CARL BOD meeting is scheduled for Saturday 6/13.  We have a number of issues regarding fixing the Ham Shack, equipment upgrades, "junque" disposal, etc.  More on this next time.

ARRL Field Day is coming up!  W7ASC and the Science Center plan to have a "Special Event" for the last weekend in June.  We are redesigning and updating our W7ASC flyer (thanks to John KC7KML).  Future special events will include the School Roundup, "Kids Day," JOTA, etc.  Recently some of the volunteers went through the W7ASC storage boxes at the Science Center and discovered several gems... and other stuff (aka "Junque").  We plan to have a table at the December 5th Superstition Hamfest at MCC, don't miss it!

And a final note we are still looking for W7ASC volunteers for the New Ham Shack.  The "Summer Hours" (10:00AM-3:00PM) are in effect through to Labor Day 9/7.  Spread the word at your Ham Club.  Call 480-961-1109 and volunteer now.  We have a CARL PPT Presentation available (operators are standing by) that can be presented to your club.  Contact me (see below) to set it up.
