Club: Order of Boiled Owls of New York

Comments: Too much going on this weekend…. plus Yankee game..
Stayed off of 20 and 15 as there was wall to wall DX.. Got some more PJ band/modes.
Nice to hear so many OWLS. Worked KS2G, N2YBB, N2FF, W2LK, NA2M and K2QMF, plus lots of locals. Did not do any digital as the JARTS RTTY was active.

Bethpage, New York – On Sunday, January 9, 2011 at 8 AM the doors of Briarcliffe College will open for the 12th annual Ham Radio University (HRU) which is also the ARRL New York City/Long Island Section Convention. Ham Radio University 2011 is a day of activities focused on education to share ideas, experiences, knowledge and fellowship.

The hourly forums, over twenty in all, will be on topics including satellite communications, grounding and lightning protection, antennas, Radio Frequency Interference, digital modes, Echolink and VOIP, contesting, low power operating using radios as small as a tuna tin and the latest in software defined radio and remote station operation. A live ham radio station will be operating and visitors will be able to experience ham radio communications firsthand by getting “on the air”. There will also be a session in the late afternoon for those who would like to take a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) exam to become a “ham” radio operator.

HRU 2011 is a cooperative effort between radio clubs and related organizations in the New York City – Long Island area. CERT, the Salvation Army, National Weather Service, Friends of
