Update: Project Call Sign W7MHM -
The museum's new designated Call Sign - W7MHM is now set up on the W4DUX repeater system and can be reached on 2 mtr frequency 147.255 PL 136.5. Currently HAM volunteers man the station Saturdays 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Visitors, kids and adults, get the opportunity to speak on HAM radio systems having QSOs with the outside world. Check in and Join the fun! We have included a W7MHM QSO Guide that can assist in the QSOs with visitors from the museum. Update: Project MHM - On January 10th, the first UHF transmission from the MIlitary Heritage Museum (MHM) took place. Don Kumpost(KG5RVW) had the honor of taking the microphone first. Norm Froman(K0NLF), Bill Barber and Gus Hawkins(AA4GH) all got a turn. Gary Butler, Executive Director of MHM also got on the air and learned more about what Ham Radio has to offer. This has been a PRRA project with all of the above mentioned folks and many others contributing their time and talents to make it happen. On the 10th, the final coax connections were made and antennas were tested. We will be forming a mini-club of Hams and using that to increase the presence of both MHM and PRRA. DMR and DStar are all in the future. Future activities will include getting the HF antenna completed and developing programs for MHM visitors of all ages, Stay tuned! Gus Hawkins(AA4GH) |
