Red River Radio Amateurs

From ARRL News …

Channels 1 and 2 on 60 meters will be available starting on August 30 for interoperability between US government and US amateur radio stations involved in Hurricane Ida emergency communications. This situation will remain in place until the storm has passed and the need for these channels no longer exists, or on September 6, whichever comes first.

These frequencies will be used: Channel 1 Primary voice traffic 5332 kHz channel center, 5330.5 kHz USB voice; and Channel 2 Digital traffic 5348 kHz channel center, 5346.5 kHz USB with 1.5 kHz offset to center of digital waveform. Stations on 60 meters are asked to yield to operational traffic related to Hurricane Ida. ¹

Participation in our weekly UHF/VHF Net has sharply dwindled during the last few months and it is now time to choose a future course for the net.

You can help with this process by taking the 2021 RRRA Net Survey.

All RRRA Members are encouraged to participate in this survey regardless of whether or not they are a regular net participants.

Volunteers are needed for the 2021 Ojibwe Forests Rally on August 27 & 28.
