Author: ve1jax (Site Admin)
At the June 5, 2010 Saturday morning get-together of the Yarmouth A.R.C., members of the E.M.O. and of the Municipality of Yarmouth Council presented a Ten Tec Omni 7 transceiver to the club in appreciation of work that club members do for E.M.O. This transceiver will be placed at the secondary E.M.O. site in Hebron as part of the communications facilites there and it will be remotely accessible via the Internet, so in addition to being available for emergency use it will be available for general use by club members from their homes. This will be great for amateurs who, for one reason or another can’t have an HF antenna because they live in an apartment or a seniors’ complex on on a small lot. It will allow them to get on HF from a site with a good radio and a good antenna.
