LWRA Ham Bytes – Week of 3/24/25

Good morning!

This is the week! QRP is in full swing again this month. We will be at Crystal Lake Park in Lake Wales 205 N 5th Street Lake Wales. This will be a time to set your HF rig or 2M/440 rig, come explore antennas and more. Our Tail Gate Theme will be Fusion and specifically Wires X. (A Yaesu C4FM radio is required) We will have several set up for you to use or explore.

From Johns Signal reminder; we will be using the Bartow 145.270 C4FM repeater. It should be back in Wires operation for the QRP. We also will have a node to access so program you radio to 147.525 simples C4FM in the DN mode. Dave will also have a node on 433.150 as well.
Top Cat Culinary Delights will have sone grilled dogs at the noon hour. (Ed: Top Cat Cullinary Delights is courtesy of Tommy Cloud KQ4YPX.)
