Re: Ham Radio and Radio at FIRST

I'm only a Technician, but I will probably get a general, if not an extra, now that code got dropped.

I'm the only ham on my team.

Brian, I'll be on that repeater tomorrow. If I can remember

N8UOB here, licensed since 1993-ish, though I haven't been active with it for the last few years. Currently I'm a "tech plus", but I plan on upgrading eventually.

Re: Ham Radio and Radio at FIRST

KB9WTE since 2000, hoping to upgrade this summer. I mostly do APRS and FM voice in my car, but I'm hoping to venture below 50 MHz in the near future.

I think the FIRST ham community is growing

Re: Ham Radio and Radio at FIRST

kc9iae, technician. I need to upgrade to general/extra, and get myself an HF rig. Too bad ham stuff tends to cost you.

Edit: Hah, just noticed that this was my 73rd post. Weird.

Re: Ham Radio and Radio at FIRST

WI Regional attendee local repeater information:

Brian has already mentioned 146.91 (CTCSS 127.3Hz), WI9MRC, located in New Berlin approximately 15 miles SW of the event location. It has multiple receive sites throughout the metro area, including one about 1 mile west of the event. Those needing local directions or assistance can usually find it here.

145.270 (127.3Hz), W9HHX, is located at the Milwaukee School of Engineering just a few blocks from the event. The system has two off-site receive locations in the metro area, including diversity receive on-site, and provides excellent coverage to those operating downtown Milwaukee. MSOE is a FIRST sponsor.

147.165 (127.3Hz), W9WK, is located just east of the event on the US Bank building and has two additional receive sites in the metro area.

443.800 (123.0Hz), N9GMT, transmits from US Bank, and has many high profile receive sites in the metro area. This is one repeater in a much larger network covering Southern and Eastern WI, and North Eastern IL. Permanantly connected to IRLP reflector node 9204, others are welcome to link in. More information can be found here

145.130 (127.3Hz), N9LKH, transmits from the UW-Milwaukee campus, and has several receivers located throughout the metro area. This is another good source for local information.

147.045 (127.3Hz), WB0AFB, transmits from the MATC broadcast tower located approximately 5 miles north of the event. MATC is a FIRST sponsor.

These are all open systems and attendees should feel free to use them.

Additional information regarding these and other WI repeaters can be found here.

I'm no Ham, but my professor David Mills (I was his TA last semester) is a major one, callsign W3HCF. Every time someone brings up the FCC he make this observation:

Is there an Echolink or IRLP node anywhere in your area, would love to setup a net on Echolink for FIRST hams. If you have echolink or are willing to download he free software ( www.echolink.org ) Please post.

Re: Ham Radio and Radio at FIRST

KB1GTO - Steve Rugoletti, team mentor/science teacher - technician
N1RCA - Lou Broad - team mentor/science teacher - extra

We're both on team 350 from Timberlane HS in Plaistow, NH. Our team will be attending the Boston Regional. None of our team is licensed, but that's going to change since we plan on starting a radio club after FIRST season is over. We recently had some modulars installed and there are some new telephone poles in a perfect spot outside Lou's classroom. The poles are at least 20' high and will be perfect for mounting one, maybe two antennas. Probably a nice Yagi and maybe a dipole between the two of them...

Thanks for asking about us!

Re: Ham Radio and Radio at FIRST

I've been a ham radio operator since 1960. Licensed at age 12. Currently KD6UY. My Dad (KD9I) and son (KN6TJ) are also long time hams.

Ham radio as a pre-teen led me into the Boy Scouts (Eagle '66) and into Electronics Engineering as a profession.

It's a good thing.
