WPARC News |
- LHARG Ham Radio Library
- Secretary/Treasurer Michael K6BUK writes: I am pleased to announce that WPARC has joined with our affiliated club, the Lincoln Hills Amateur Radio Group (LHARG) to develop a library of ham-related books. Many thanks to LHARG/WPARC member Dan KN6DRN for his time and effort to create the new library. It will be housed at the LHARG club building, the south entry building, in Sun City Lincoln Hills, on the corner of Joiner and Del Webb Blvd. Access is limited to LHARG club meeting hours on Monday nights from about 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM. You may also request a book from Dan or Michael Buck, K6BUK, and we will send them to the monthly WPARC meeting. The new library is quite extensive but if you have any books we don’t have and would like to donate them, we would greatly appreciate it.
A list of available books is on the LHARG Lending Library page.

- WPARC's K6PAC/R is pictured in the photo here. On the cart it is almost mobile! It has been at its new home since Apr'22.

- Bozo 2M SSB Net - Wednesday and Sunday Eves - 7:30-10:00 PM
- This net started in Southern California when local hams started a 2M SSB simplex net on the SSB calling frequency, and some old timer got on to inquire 'What are you Bozos doing?' Link to a legacy Bozo Net Page from 2019. Contact the webmaster if you have updates.
- Net Script
- Running a net is a great way to gain radio experience. Try your hand at running a net! The net script can be found here [pdf]. The frequent weekly checkins list [mid-2023] can be found here [pdf].
