Field Day 2017
Come join us for Field Day 2017! Field Day is a great day for anyone with an interest in radio to come and learn how messages are sent in an emergency situation. We will be operating five stations using generator power as well as a GOTA (Get on the Air) station for anyone, even if you don't have a ham license, to try their hand at making a contact!
We will be at the cross country ski lodge in Earl Legacy Park, at the corner of Wallace and New Boston Road, in Bedford NH. We will also be having a "Fox Hunt"! This is a fun activity were a small transmitter is hidden and directional antennas are used to locate it! Great activity for anyone to participate in. Feel free to bring your directional antennas if you have them! This is a 24 hour event starting at 2PM ET on Saturday June 24th and ending on Sunday June 25th at 2PM ET. Come by anytime and learn about ham radio! 
President's MinuteMay 13, 2017
Spring is always a busy time. . .2017 Field Day preparation, antenna repair and family events like graduations keep us moving. Many thanks to all of our GSARA members who sacrifice family time to help prepare for our GSARA Field Day. The league Field Day locator is now up so check it out. There are about eight NH clubs showing so far. Of course, we know the best and most fun operation in all NH is located right here at Earl Legacy Park. If you haven't seen it yet, ask Charlie about our new 40 meter Beam. With the low sunspot count now happening, we'll need a little extra directed power on 40 and Charlie's beam will deliver! Adding to our club's antenna inventory couldn't happen without a healthy club treasury. Thanks to Bill Orr for bringing donations from our club friend Doug Newhall. Those donations brought in over $200 so many thanks for Doug's generosity and Bill's efforts to bring the donations to the April meeting! Our May meeting was great fun as we earned about Raspberry pi devices. Tom, AC1J brought us a great speaker in Don Norris. Many members approached me afterwards to learn more about digital modes so let's keep promoting and learning about digital modes and devices and projects! June's meeting will focus on field day preparations. Come on by and see whats new for 2017 Field Day! Happy QSO's! Dennis N1IMW Our 2017 Board of Officers are: Dennis Markell (President), John Grubmuller (Vice-President), Matthew Bedard (Secretary), Barry Whittemore (Treasurer) and Russell Steenrod (Membership). Thanks for helping the club! Enjoy a GREAT interview on WGIR with our own Dennis Markell about Ham Radio!
