Welcome to the Durham FM Association
The Durham FM Association is a group of friendly amateur radio operators interested in all aspects of amateur radio service. Members in Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and surrounding areas of North Carolina enjoy operating through VHF and UHF repeaters sponsored and maintained by the club. Currently the club operates FM voice repeaters on 145.450-, 147.225+, 224.260-, 444.100+ and 444.450+ mhz(the plus and minus indicating standard offsets on the respective bands). We meet on the 1st Tuesday of the month (see Calendar) with Dinner (optional) at 6:00pm and the business meeting and program at 7:00pm. We are meeting at Bullock's BBQ, on 3330 Quebec Drive in Durham. [click for map] (For more info on each meeting, check the Calendar entry.) Our club runs a great hamfest toward the end of May each year. The DurHamFest was held in the Little River Community Complex the last three year and is expected to be there again in 2010. Dealers sell new and used equipment, books, and parts. "Tailgaters" also offer much used equipment. Besides the buying, selling, and trading, door prizes and fellowship with old and new friends make this a real fun event.
This web page is a work in progress. Please give us feedback at the meeting telling us what you do and don't like on this web site. Thanks!

As you know from the DFMA meetings and the reports in the Newsletter, we are, again joining forces with OCRA. Two related items will be posted on this web site soon (and there is sure to be more). Dave Snyder, w4sar, is again coordinating the Filed Day effort. His post will report on early plans and Band Captain assignments. Remember that the Band Captain (or co-captains) are responsible for coordinating a station that is to operate in a particular band in a particular mode. There are still many volunteers needed to fill out the schedule. If you are interested in being a Band Captain, contact Dave. If you would like to be part of a particular team, you can contact Dave and/or go directly to the person responsible for the band you are interested in. Of course, you can just show up and help out. Additional hands and operators are always needed. However, it helps if you sign on in advance and your team members know that they can count on you. The other posting will come from Bruce Meier, n1ln, contester extraordinaire. He is proposing that we get some contesting experience by spending some time in a contest later this month and that we run a contest within a contest. This will be a warm up foe Field Day. You participate by using your own equipment at home and participate only to the degree that your time and interest permit. He will give you the details. |
