N3ORX’s 6 meter presentation was well received at this month’s C.O.R.E. Meeting and in an effort to keep up the momentum and foster interest and experimentation with the 6 meter band Hank has offered to host a 6 meter net/test session on Thursday April 22 2010 at 8 PM. The net will be held on SSB on a frequency of 50.140 simplex.
This will be an opportunity for all amateurs with an interest in operating on 6 meters to test out their rigs and antennas without having to wait for a 6 meter band opening.
All amateurs are invited to check into this net.
Anyone with questions regarding this net please contact Hank Koebler (N3ORX) directly at n3orx@arrl.org.
The Clarksville Operating Radio Enthusiasts meeting will be tonight, April 13 2010 starting at 6:30 PM at the Park Lane Church of the Nazarene. All Amateurs are invited to attend.
We will be treated to a presentation from Hank Koebler(N3ORX) on propagation and operation on 6 meters.

Clarksville Operating Radio Enthusiasts will be focusing on growing our skills as we enter the new year. Our January meeting was devoted to laying out the schedule of meetings for the first 1/2 of 2010.
On Thursday February 11 2010 WU5E, Jim Kennedy will take the opportunity to give a brief overview of HF operations as well as an introduction to using the ARRL’s LogBook of the World .
In March the CORE Group is going to be diving into APRS. Join us on Thursday March 11 to learn more about this fascinating digital mode.
ON Thursday April 8 N3ORX, Hank Koebler will take the opportunity to introduce amateurs to “The Magic Band”. Hank will be presenting on 6 meter operations including best times to try 6 meters, 6 meter operating practices and more.
If you do much operating through VHF or UHF repeaters and ever wanted to know more about them then May is the month for you to visit the Clarksville Operating Radio Enthusiasts. K2LAW, Howard Thompson will be sharing information about the group about what makes repeaters tick.
In June, nearly every Amateur Radio Operator has just two words on their lips…. FIELD DAY!! Our June meeting will be dedicated to planning out our operations for ARRL Field Day 2010. Check out our operations from past years at http://k4ore.net/activities/ and visit us on Thursday June 10 2010 as we plan to do it again.
In addition to our monthly meetings the Clarksville Operating Radio Enthusiasts, in conjunction with the Customs House Museum are in the process of putting together a special event for March to be held at the Customs House Museum. Of course we’ll also be operating for Field Day 2010 in June.
We hope you’ll join us for all of our meetins and these events.
