LWRA Ham Bytes – Week of 1/26/26

GOOD EVENING IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Due to unpredictable impeding weather next weekend, we are cancelling the Ham N Beans portion. AGAIN, we are ONLY cancelling the food portion. The QRP will go on as scheduled for playing radio as planned. Those who want to come out can come out and those who may be affected adversely can stay in the warmth. Thank you for understanding. Simmers Young Park near Winter Haven- Auburndale www.lwra.us/qrp

I hope all had a great weekend and had the opportunity to play a little radio! Winter Field Day events, contesting and just plain ole radio fun with 2m 70cm, scanning whatever waves you were making were good waves!
The ’Flavor of the Week’ will be KEG P25 146.655; P25 radio is required. And the Polk Schools repeater at Tenoroc HIGH SCHOOL near Auburndale will be this week’s topping. 146.865 -.6 with 127.3 Tx and Rx. A very underused repeater for sure.

NET TUESDAY!

The net will be on the UHF repeater with W4JPC as net control. Join Jim for the net at 730PM.
We need a list of substitute net controllers. Email KB4FHPLWRA@PROTON.ME IF INTERESTED.
We still net a few net controllers for our GMRS associated nets.

Dan’s W5DBH Haines City Net on Fridays 462.55 127.3 he needs subs and controllers for his 7 PM Friday net.
I need a third- or fourth-week controller for the Polk GMRS net for Tuesday at 7PM each week. 462.725 141.3. Also, standby subs for all three nets would be great. Let me know about any 863-412-2467
