Trailer Graphics

These mock-up pictures represent a first pass (SWAG) at Trailer Graphics.

We knew graphics would cost a bit. And so I volunteered to lead an off-remodeling budget effort to fund them. Meaning I’ll pay if nobody else helps.

I guessed $500 for a budget and was pleasantly surprised to reach a number that’s a little lower. Which leaves a few bucks for a graphic for the man-door with “club rules”, or warnings, some such. (I think having some rules is a good idea.)

There’s a link to an opinion survey at the end of this post. Please take a moment to fill it out. 5 dreary questions. I know it’s a big ask.

HAM’s vs HOA’s

Indiana Leads the Way for the FCC

A new Indiana law changes the game by treating amateur radio equipment with the same level of respect already afforded to satellite dishes and flagpoles. It acknowledges that a licensed operator is not just a hobbyist, but a federally regulated asset who needs an external “ear” to the world to be effective.

CCRC Parks On the Air Day

April 18th, 2026
1200 – 1700 local time.

The plan is to “Activate” as many Parks in Coos County in one afternoon as possible.

We will be making QSO’s using the club callsign. K7CCH.

What’s an “Activation?”

A licensed amateur radio operator sets up a portable station within a designated, qualifying park (state, national, or provincial) to make radio contacts with other operators. A successful activation requires making a minimum of 10 QSOs (contacts) in a single UTC day, which are then logged and uploaded to the POTA system for awards.

Spotting Rules Excerpt

The club can do multiple activations at once by using /R01, /R02, /R03, etc. for example

  • K7CCH/R01 at Bullards Beach State Park,
  • K7CCH/R02 at the North Spit BLM Area,
  • K7CCH/R03 at Tugman State Park.

If you want to learn how to make a POTA activation, join one of the locations with experienced Hams. Or! If you are able to do an activation on your own, activate a unique park. 

Hope to see your activation on the spots page!

More information will be made available in coming days.
