The two sister organizations of the Dixie Heights High School Amateur RadioClub (KY7ARET and K4CO) need help with Paddlefest. They will be providingcommunication using local repeaters for the boats on the river during the fest.It will be for the morning of June 23rd and will probably last half a day. If you would like to take part and get some real life practice at handling communicationsplease contact me and I will send you the email address to volunteer. This wouldbe an excellent opportunity to practice your amateur radio skills and see real life communication. I would like to see several of you volunteer. Remember these arethe two organizations that volunteer their time to help us and KY7ARET providesthe handheld for our class.Jim HicksThere will be a radio club meeting April 16th in room 1306 after school.I placed the instructions on how to build a uhf or vhf jpole antennaon the handouts page.
