SARL World Amateur Radio Day event

Next Saturday, 18 April, the South African Radio League (SARL) will be celebrating World Amateur Radio Day with a big event at the National Amateur Radio Centre.

Watch how we generate hydrogen for the next Bacar mission and see how the experimental payload is lifted into the sky on a tethered baloon.

The payload includes a 2 metre APRS beacon and an HF beacon. The HF beacon will operate on 7 022 kHz and will send a voice message.

Get the download on the BACAR activity on www.amsatsa.org.za.

Copy the voice message and send it to armi@sarl.org.za as soon as you receive it. At 13:00 all messages received will go into the draw for a 2008 ARRL Handbook.

Hamnet and ZS6SRL will be active from the National Amateur Radio Centre, give them a call on 7 082 kHz or 14 150 kHz.

The activities start at 10:00 and will end at 14:00. Join in the fun. There will be free refreshments.
