SUMMARY:Radio In The Park - San Dimas Canyon Park
DESCRIPTION:Radio In The Park\n\n\n\nRadio in the Park is a social event  to meet up with other hams and Get On The Air. Folks bring their HF radios\, portable power systems\, Antennas and attempt contacts all over the country/world.  We look forward to seeing everyone there\, all interested parties are welcomed\, no need to be licensed\, or a club member\, we look forward to sharing the hobby with anyone interested and welcome any/all questions! \nPractice your EmComm skills or just enjoy the day in the company of other Hams! You may want to bring a chair and some water. Some people may bring food or snacks. We encourage you to bring and set up your radios and antennas! \nSan Dimas Canyon Park  512 Sycamore Canyon Rd San Dimas\, CA 91773\nSan Dimas Canyon Park Park has a lot of shade trees and a few tables. If you are bringing a radio you may want to bring a table.  Depending on who else is where\, we are typically among the shade trees alongside the large linear parking lot that parallels North San Dimas Canyon Road as it heads North-East.  Look for antennas in roughly the area circled below. \nAs usual remember to listen to the WG6OTA repeater before or on the way to the park\, just in case there is a change in plans. See you on the Air! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Simplex net
DESCRIPTION:The Simplex net will be on 146.580MHz starting at 6:15pm.\nA great way to explore the reach of your 2 meter equipment without benefit of repeater\, both receiving and transmitting. \nBring a pad of paper and record signal reports for all you hear. We will collect and collate these. \nUse this scale for your reports: \n1=Nothing at all heard\, not even noise or hiss suggesting a specific signal is present. \n2=It was apparent that a signal was present but communication is impossible even with reasonable re-tries. \n3=Communication possible with noise and possibly some re-tries to cover drop outs. \n4=Good communication though with some noise or other artifacts\, but generally solid copy. \n5=Solid copy\, little or no noise\, full or nearly full quieting. \nBe patient during silences as there will probably be participants you cannot hear and net control is likely communicating with those stations during silences.
