CVARC VT QSO Party at Vermont Tech

by

Hi everyone,

I am happy to announce that CVARC will be operating the Vermont QSO Party this year at Vermont Technical College in Randolph Center. We’ll be operating out of Morey Hall with two HF stations. More details to follow regarding directions and parking.

We will be needing volunteers to help set up the stations and string antennas. The plan is to meet at VTC at 8am Saturday morning, February 1st. Please RSVP no later than Friday, January 31st if you would like to volunteer on Saturday morning – VTC campus safety would like a list. You may email me or reach out via the “Contact Us” page (account required). Please use 147.570 MHz FM simplex for talk-in – this should be far enough away from any calling frequencies used during the contest.

We hope to see you there!
