Club Station<\/h3>\n

The club station is located in Building 329, in the north east part of the Lab. Once a member has been checked out on the equipment in the “shack” a key will be issued which will allow the member to enter the shack at any time to utilize the club’s equipment.<\/p>\n

HF Operating Positions<\/h3>\n

The club station has several HF operating positions. Each has a transceiver with capabilities that range from very simple to relatively complex. Each has a linear amplifier that can provide kilowatt-level output. All stations are capable of feeding any antenna on the Club’s antenna farm that is located a thousand feet above the ham shack on a hilltop. The antenna farm consists of three rotary beam antennas and a variety of wire antennas for the lower frequency bands. One of the three stations is very easy to use and provides the new “ham” a way to get on the air quickly.<\/p>\n

VHF\/UHF Operating Position<\/h3>\n

The club has a 144\/224\/450 MHz tri-band transceiver connected to a 12 VDC power buss that will allow operation through the club’s repeaters even in the event of a power failure. The 12 VDC buss is supplied by a high-capacity battery that is in turn charged by a solar array.<\/p>\n

Repeaters<\/h3>\n

The club currently has four operational repeaters located at or near the Laboratory. The repeaters are located on the 145\/220\/450 MHz bands. All may be linked together, enabling users to talk between bands. All of the other repeaters are “open” and are available for any licensed amateur to use.<\/p>\n

The club operates three additional repeaters at the JPL Table Mountain Facility, near Wrightwood, California. Please see the club’s Repeater Guide<\/a> for more information regarding all club repeaters.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
