NIARA receives two grants

Association Events, News and Information /

The Northeastern Indiana Amateur Radio Association received two grants to help purchase equipment for the group. 

The ARRL Foundation awarded the NIARA a grant of just under $3000 in support of a Go Box project.   A Go Box is a complete amateur radio station in a box.    A Go Box is useful in an emergency communications situation and portable for remote communications.   The other award was from the Amateur Radio Digital Communications headquarted in San Diego.   The NIARA was given a grant of just under $30,000 in support of a project to buy a trailer and outfit it with most all forms of analog and digital communications.  This would include a mobile analog/digital repeater, Arden Meesh, and computers with software such as FLDIGI, FLARQ, FLAMP, FLMSG, FLWRAP, N3FJP, WSJT, and Winlink.   The trailer will be taken to gatherings to demonstrate amateur radio and its capabilities. 

Thank you John KD9QDL for your work in securing these grants!

Second Annual Northeastern Indiana Amateur Radio Association Hamfest July 11, 2020

The second annual Northeastern Indiana Amateur Radio Association hamfest was held on Saturday July 11, 2020 at the Auburn Cord Duesenburgh museum.  A good time was had by all.

John (W9GOO) reported:  In order to put on an event of this nature, the Hamfest Committee composed of Jeff DeLucenay (KB9QG), Jack (W9OWO), Dave (KC9YY), and myself John (W9GOO) worked with the ACD Museum and did the planning and organizing for the event.  A Hamfest requires a number of volunteers to do the many tasks needed and we certainly appreciate the contributions of all those who pitched in. 

We had good attendance and a good number of inside sellers along with outside trunk sales.  The ACD Museum was great to work with and it certainly is a beautiful facility.  A lot of complementary feedback has been received.
