ALL SCIRA Members

To ALL SCIRA Members:

First an update on recent SCIRA activities:

Recently three people resigned from the SCIRA board; Mark Hayden,
Secretary, Joe Parrino, repeater specialist and Jim Burton a Member at
Large. We appreciate the work these three have done for SCIRA in
making our repeater group what it is today. Thank You Mark, Joe and
Jim!

Mike Sorensen, KI6HWQ, one of our Members at Large has volunteered to
take Mark's place as Secretary for the remainder of the term.

We need three new Members at Large including a repeater specialist. If
you have a desire to serve with us, we would love to have you join the
Board. The yearly voting takes place at our annual meeting in
November. For those wishing to volunteer please respond to me by
email or phone by June 16th.

On Saturday, May 30th, Jim Dowdle, Doug Kunz and myself went up to
Snow Peak to install our new repeater. It is now on the air. The
frequency is 445.160 -- Pl 151.4. We still have some work to do. We
will go back up to add equipment and make some adjustments the last
Saturday of June.

We also have a new repeater working in Running Springs on 449.540 --
Pl 151.4 It will be linked to our Snow Peak repeater in the near
future. Eventually this repeater will be on top of our Eagle Tower
once that is completed.

Second to answer some of your inquiries regarding the frequency
change:

We are currently using 440 UHF. SCIRA is third on the TASMA waiting
list for a frequency on 2 meters. We will keep you updated.

Thank You for your help!
