VHF Contest, 15th Birthday
Wow, what a blast.
You snooze, you lose!
We had a tremendous contest this
year. With the 6m band opening all weekend and intermittent
Sporadic-E, multi-hop on 2m it was a very amazing thing. Running
W0KVA (Scott Taylor) as our multioperator call, we had W0KU Scott, WY0X
Nate and N0WBW John as operators over the contest period. 602 QSOs,
163,000 points. This is our all time record.
We usually expect some guest
operators out to play but this year nobody came out for the fun and
missed out on the most phenomenal event in our 15 years of doing this!
The arrays went up flawlessly and
we were done ahead of schedule, the equipment worked perfectly and only
broke one set of Heil headsets.
The communications trailer is a great
asset to any contest activity due to it's modularity. We can plug
anything in and make it work!
Rocky Mountain Ham Radio
And the Colorado D-Star Organization
RMHR is proud to announce that they
assisted the Colorado D-Star
Association (a group consisting of Rocky Mountain Ham Radio, several ARES groups and
other repeater groups in Denver) in deploying a
new D-Star repeater stack in the Denver metro area, a grant given by
Ham Radio Outlet. The system
is active in test mode and will be going live for your use very soon
once we can get to the permanent site.
The UHF DV is available for your use on 446.9625.

Rocky Mountain Ham Radio and Mountain Top
Associates of Colorado have joined forces!
Mountain Top Associates one of Colorado's premier
"technology" based clubs supporting some of the best repeaters in the
area has joined forces with us. RMHAM will continue to maintain MTTOP's repeaters and
Mountain Top will continue to be the experimentation and technology arm.
We are proud to be part of this union and believe that this makes us a
more robust and well rounded single group.
Comm Trailer Supports
ARES Demonstration
For Colorado Hospital Association
May 9 and 10, 2008, RMHAM and
Colorado ARES pooled it's resources to demonstrate their abilities to
members of the Colorado Hospital Association at their yearly convention.
There was an obvious lack of knowledge about Hams and what they can
offer the medical community in times of disaster. This event was a
huge success.
