    View as a Web page ABOUT TALARC | JOIN TALARC | HAM RADIO EVENTS | LEGIONTOWN | CONTACT US American Legion Birthday to be celebrated worldwide, March 11, on shortwave radio Dear TALARC Members and Friends, March 15 is the designated birthday of The American Legion. It is the day in 1919 when the first American Legion caucus, held by members of the American Expeditionary Force, convened in Paris. Much as the birthday of the United States is celebrated on July 4 – for the day in 1776 when rebelling patriots declared the independence of the British colonies and the spirit of America was born – March 15 is the day on which the Legion came to life. Each year, Legion posts across the country hold events – public, private or both – to commemorate this anniversary. At the National Headquarters of The American Legion there also is an event conducted annually to observe the Legion birthday, and on a worldwide scale. Members of The American Legion Amateur Radio Club (TALARC) will operate a special event station to commemorate the Legion’s 98th birthday. Operating from the radio room at National Headquarters in Indianapolis, ham radio operators at club station K9TAL will celebrate the Legion’s 98 years of service to America’s veterans with both members and non-member amateur radio operators around the world on Saturday, March 11, 2017. Ham radio operators wishing to contact Special Event Station K9TAL should tune to 40 meters: 7.225 MHz (+/- 5 KHz) LSB; or to 2 meters: K9DC 147.315 Repeater at Indianapolis; or IRLP Node 9735; or, to EchoLink *CROSSRDS* Conference node.

    Policy on Temporary Call Signs and Call Sign Enhancement

    Amateur radio Policy on temporary call signs and call sign enhancement POLICY Publication Date: March 2018 About this document This document explains our policy on enhancing amateur radio call signs (notably with Regional Secondary Locators) and on the formation of call signs for temporary special event stations. It updates a document published in 2015 though without making any substantive changes to the policy. Contents Section 1. International context 1 2. Call sign format 2 3. Using RSLs 3 4. Special Event Station (‘SES’) call signs 5 5. Temporary RSLs 6 Amateur radio temporary call signs and call sign enhancement 1. International context The Radio Regulations 1.1 Article 19 of the Radio Regulations (“RRs”) 1 requires administrations to ensure that Amateur Radio stations are identified with a call sign. It sets out the format that call signs must adopt for different types of stations. Further, it prohibits misleading identities. These considerations underpin our overall policy regarding call signs for Amateur Radio stations. The UK Amateur Radio Licence 1.2 Clause 13 of the UK Amateur Radio Licence requires licensees to ensure that the station is clearly identifiable at all times and that the call sign is transmitted as often as is practicable. Clause 2(2) requires licensees to use the appropriate Regional Secondary Locator (“RSL”) 2 and sets out rules for using RSLs. This is explained below. 1 The Radio Regulations are the rules in the use of the radio spectrum agreed by the international community at the International Telecommunication Union 2 The Amateur Radio Licence defines Regional Secondary Locator as “a letter used by the Licensee to convey the location of the Radio Equipment in accordance with Clause 2(2) and note (c) to this Licence” 1 Amateur radio temporary call signs and call sign enhancement 2.

    THE ARRAY, OCT 2019 (Pdf) Download

    OCTOBER 2019 From the President’s Shack, Ron Ford, KF5OMH: Will fall ever get here? I’m beginning to ponder that question. According to the weather report on the news this morning, we’re in for one more week of hot weather, then it will cool off. Here’s hoping that the weather forecasters are correct. That means we should have perfect weather for our JOTA event on October 19. The speaker at the September meeting was Steve Lott Smith the ARRL North Texas Section Manager. He brought us up to date on things going on within the ARRL and particularly in the North Texas Section. We really appreciate him getting up way before the chickens to come to Lewisville for the meeting. Speaking of JOTA, the Scouting Jamboree-on-the-air event, October 19 is right around the corner. Plan to come out and spend some time observing, or better yet, helping to get youngsters on the air. Only if you can spend just one hour, you will definitely benefit from doing so. Mike, W5EVT, is looking for willing help for the event so give him a shout and offer your services. There are a lot of things that need to be done in order for this event to be a success. Conner Pavilion at Lake Park is the venue we’ll be using for the day.

    US Coast Guard Auxiliary National Response Directorate Telecommunications Division U.S.C.G. Auxiliary Calling all amateur radio operators ! Announcing an amateur radio special event station to commemorate The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary’s 77th anniversary All U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary members, who are amateur radio operators, (and our amateur radio operator guests, especially from Hamfesters ARC) are invited to operate a “special event radio station” on Saturday October 22, 2016. Our official callsign is W9C. We will operate on amateur H.F. frequencies to commemorate the 77th anniversary of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. This annual event provides an opportunity to exercise our capabilities while demonstrating our skills to a wide and diverse audience. Our amateur operators will set up and operate a special event radio station, using high frequency. We will operate out of the US Coast Guard Station Calumet Harbor. Official USCG Aux. special event amateur radio stations will be operating “on the air” all day with special 1 X 1 call signs, contacting amateur radio operators and other U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary stations. Voice and digital modes are permitted. Stations are permitted to operate Friday, Saturday and Sunday if they desire. Our official special event station will send out free commemorative QSL’s. Last year over 50 USCG Aux. special event stations contacted thousands of other amateurs, and USCG Auxiliary members, to commemorate the USCG Auxiliary anniversary. Welcome and Bravo Zulu to the many stations participating in the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary 77th Anniversary radio day. The USCG AUX Amateur radio Special Event is an excellent chance to practice communication skills, enjoy Fellowship and to Introduce non USCG AUX members to the Auxiliary or get existing Auxiliary members involved with Communications.
