Welcome
to the official El Cajon Radio club reflector. |

Your comments and questions and concerns are always welcome. I expect to never have to remove a post. We are all hams, and understand that what we broadcast in the open is public information, and should be treated as such. Some just need advice while others are looking for someone to do my essay for me. Courtesy and civility is expected. Please No Spam or advertising. EXCEPTION. You are certainly are free to post wants and sells of Amateur Radio Equipment. Membership requirements 1. As this is the official El Cajon Radio Club reflector you are required to be a member. 2. You must use your real name and Call sign, no aliases. 3. Every one is responsible for their postings. 4. This is not the forum for personal disputes. Take it off line, or pick up the telephone. Do I have to say no name calling? I have the repeatable items on the calendar, they will also remind us the day before the event. The Calendar to refer to is the one on the club website, as it is maintained with all the new items. If you see something that doesn't seem to work correctly let me know, so I can try to fix it. I don't seem to be able to change the Yahoo address for myself. I do not want to start all over. I will have to remind every one of my name and call. If you see “Stockgod 01.” That is Yahoo not doing what I want it to. Thank you Pat Chambers W6VJT Moderator |

TBA Date 2010 The Club will provide left over Field Day Steaks, Hamburgers and Hot Dogs with all the fixin's, onions, water and soda. What should you bring? The picnic will be under the "covered stage" in the North East corner of Lindo Lakes Park in Lakeside (look for our 100' communications tower and trailer). Live musical entertainment will be provided during lunch by Polo Navarro and the volume will be turned down this time. To get to the Park, from El Cajon, take Hwy 67 north to
Lakeside. When you reach the end of the Freeway (by the Lakeside
"Rodeo" grounds), there will be a traffic light. That's
Mapleview. Turn right and make an immediate right on "Maine
Ave". Go straight on Maine to the third street on the left.
That will be "Lindo Ln" (Woodside Ave turns into Lindo
Ln on the east side of Maine Ave). Turn left at the first street
you come to..that will be Park St and it will take you into Lindo
Lakes Park. Our Club Picnic will be in the covered picnic area at
the first turnoff on the right. If you go across the lake, you've
gone too far. There's lot's of parking available along Park St near
our Picnic area. If you are like me and depend on GPS to get you
where you're going, the coordinates are: We'll have "talk-In" on our WA6BGS Club repeater system and will be issuing WAMO #000 during the Picnic. We have repeaters on 2 meters, 1.25 meters (220MHz) and 70cm (440MHz) which will be linked together during the Picnic. For a list of our repeater frequencies, visit www.wa6bgs.org and click on the "Repeater" button on the left side of the "home" page. We'll also have our Tower Trailer set up at the park with both a VHF/UHF antenna as well a our Club 2 element Tri-Band Yagi (20 meters, 15 meters and 10 meters). If you want to "Get on the Air" at the Picnic, feel free to do so. |
