Our August meeting topic is digital modes using your PC and sound card. By using a PC (which you probably already own) as an extension of your radio (which you probably also already own), you can operate several modes you may not have tried before. Popular digital modes are PSK-31, RTTY, Hellschrieber, slow scan TV, and digital voice. Bill Lynch, AB2UW, will present a tutorial of how to get started in these modes at a minimum cost using mostly stuff you already have in your ham shack. He plans to include some of the theory of how it all works for those of us with a technical sweet tooth. There will be something for everyone at this month's meeting, so please do not miss it.

Radio Central Amateur Radio Club meetings are open to non-members as well as members. Anyone interested in Amateur Radio or wireless history is welcome to attend.

The Radio Central Weekly Rag Chew Net Moved Back to 8:00 PM. Radio Central Amateur Radio Club hosts a weekly club information and rag chew net that meets Tuesday nights at 8:00 PM on the Radio Central Amateur Radio Club repeater. The purpose of the net is to further the general knowledge of the local ham community, to bring local hams together through the use of the Radio Central club repeater, and to talk about any subject that is of interest to the group. All licensed hams, club members and non members alike, are welcome to check in and join the group. Radio Central Tour of Old RCA Grounds Saturday March 14 We had a turnout of five hearty Radio Central members for an enjoyable club outing touring the old RCA property in Rocky Point. Dick, K2RFP, was our tour guide. Weather was ideal and everyone survived the six mile hike nicely. We took a bunch of photos and plan to create a presentation for a future club meeting. Here are a couple of photos we took Saturday. Remnants of an old boiler room. Photo by KA2JAK. One of the original wooden towers. Photo by AB2UW. Farm of old porcelain insulators. Photo by K2RFP.
