Well, the 2021 IPRC Summer Field Day Event is in the bag, and 24 hours later, the gear has almost dried out. It was a soggy one to be sure, but it was still a very successful, productive, and fun event. Even with persistent rainfall, we were able to run two or three stations for most of the contest portion of the event, and to keep at least one running for the whole 24 hours, making over 300 contacts on 5 different bands, and to most US states, regions of Canada, and even a DX contact or two. Tonight is our normal monthly meeting night, but we voted to not hold one tonight due to the field day event. We will be having a short, informal zoom tonight starting at 6:30 to debrief and talk about the event, look at the photos and results, and chat about anything else on anyone's mind. Please do join us if you are available. 73, Charley K4NYN https://photos.app.goo.gl/hutiWcTrj1t6WWnB8

Hello all,  The IPRC Summer Field Day Weekend Event is now less than two weeks away.  Here are some pictures of IPRC members setting up antennas and making some preparations for the event on Sunday, the 13th.  It was a beautiful day for it, and the weather cooperated.  We got a lot done and really shortened our setup time for the event.  Less setup time and more operating time ... that's a win.  We were also paid a visit by a photographer and reporter from the MountainEar newspaper who did a short interview with club members about the upcoming event.  Thank you to Sal and Karen, Kirk from the MountainEar, and to all who came out to help.   Charley K4NYN

Reminder - IPRC Weekly Net Tonight!

Hello IPRC folks,  Just a reminder that our IPRC weekly net will be held tonight at 1900 hours (7:00 PM mountain time).  I will be net control this evening, and I have a plan to have a little fun with it. We will be running the net on the AirLink repeater (details here - https://indianpeaksradioclub.org/net.html) as per usual, but I am going to be operating from at or near the proposed WØNED repeater site, up at the MRS.  I will be operating a radio with crossband repeat function between the AirLink repeater, and our WØNED repeater INPUT frequency (443.550 MHz) simplex.  So in addition to being able to get into the net through the normal AirLink VHF frequencies, you will also be able to find out what your signal, propagation, and path is like to the future WØNED repeater, in as realistic a scenario as possible.   So get your UHF and dual band radio(s) programmed and ready to talk on 443.550 MHz, FM simplex, with no PL tone, and let's have some fun.  Be aware that if you are using a
