Club Information and Activities
Latest W3HA operations - 2024
Every June, the ARRL sponsors Field Day, when clubs and individuals set up stations at temporary locations. The Club set up operations in Penn Forest Recreational Park on 903 on June 22-23 with two HF transmitters and one VHF transmitter. In 2023, we made 168 contacts and achieved a score of 620. This year we made 272 contacts and our score was 918. Even more significant was the increase in participants from 7 in 2023 to 20 this year. Unfortunately, it was very hot that weekend and we didn't get very many visitors.
On the weekend of October 12-13, we participated in the PA QSO Party, where Pennsylvania clubs and individuals made contacts with in-state operators and operators in the US and abroad. We logged 233 contacts with 47 PA counties, 27states, three Canadian provinces and even made one contact in the Slovak Republic.

O
On August 4, 2023, Karl Verren, KN6CW passed away after a long illness. He was a former president of the club and gave it a shot of increased enthusiasm and purpose. Our condolences go out to his wife, Tatiana in this difficult time.
On September 30, 2023, Rob Roomberg, a long time club member, died suddenly. He was an inveterate tinkerer and was one of the members who kept the Club going through some lean times, including some significant financial assistance. His obituary, which contains many details of his family and life can be found here.
We have replaced our old antenna and put up a new OCF dipole and during its initial operation we made two contacts in Russia outside Moscow. We plan some additional fine tuning of that antenna and are working on the selection of a second antenna. Once the radio room is complete, we will post pictures! Stay tuned...
