Need help for the St. Patrick's Day Parade this Saturday in Syracuse

Public service request:

We need a few more operators for the St. Patrick's Day Parade this Saturday.  It is a fun,  interesting event
which I have volunteered at for many years.  The organizers treat us well and reward us with hats, shirts, and a reception after the parade.

The club has available HTs, so don't let that hold you back.

If you can help, email Amir at sarlabs@gmail.com or Walt at n2ikwkb@gmail.com.

Thanks in advance for your help.

NY Ham Online VE Testing - VEs Needed!

 Hi there!

Myself and a couple other hams are looking to recruit VEs from across the state for online VE sessions. The goal is to make more test sessions available online for current / future hams in NY state and the surrounding area while also promoting the local clubs nearest them. We'd love to partner with any VEs or Club VE teams.

Contact Shaun N2EWC (n2ewc@outlook.com) for more info.

S Meter signal strength vs. dBm

The topic of S meter readings came up up the other day on a repeater discussion, so we thought we would post a reference table and a link to an informative explanation on S meter readings. This is always an interesting topic among Hams, as most of us have noticed differences among various radios.
