Next Meeting is Wednesday, September 10th, 2008!
The Wednesday, September 10th, joint meeting of the Santa Clara Valley
Repeater Society and the San Jose IBM Amateur Radio Club will hold their meeting 7PM at:
Hometown Buffet
3085 Meridian Avenue
San Jose, CA
408-448-6373
It is located on Meridian Avenue between Foxworthy and Hillsdale in San Jose. There were Coupons in a several weeks ago Sundays paper.
We had originally planned on going to the Bay Buffet on Monterey Highway in San Jose. However, after reading some of the reviews, it was decided that we would go somewhere else. We last visited this Hometown Buffet in February of 2006. We are considering Sonoma Chicken Coop for October. Let's discuss it at the meeting.
Dues alert. If you missed paying, please mail them to the Club PO Box,
or bring them to the meeting.
Also, remember that we still hold the Monday night net at 9:00 PM and Amateur
Radio Newsline follows at 9:30 PM. If you find that you cannot get into the 146.76
2-meter input very well, try using a different PL of 141.3 Hz. This will open a
different receiver located in the north-east Milpitas area which might hear your
signal a bit better.
For the last several years we have been holding a joint dinner meeting with the
IBM Amatur Radio Club members. We have enjoyed good fellowship.
We have some pictures from he Dec 2004 Meeting. Click here.
The repeater has moved from the south edge of the Loma peak to a nearby site several years ago.
We got pictures... Click here.
Repeater coverage has changed a little.
The Electronics Flea Market (Formally Foothill Electronics Flea Market) is alive and well
at Lochkeed in Sunnyvale. In 2008 will be held the second saturday March at De Anza College
thru October. If interested more details are at this

Mug Shots
of members at a May 2003 Meeting here
or below (thanks Roger). Roger is still collecting pictures... Got cammera, will travel.
Anybody know a cheap way to get a reasonable internet connection up to the hill? There is
some intrest in VOIP (Voice over IP) to link to an out of the area repeater. We have a ham ISP
with very fast access if needed, we just need to get a fast connection to the top of the hill.
The club has a list server for club members. All club members have received an
invitation to join, 15 signed up the first day. A few more
wondered what it was... which is OK. Announcementa, and other interesting acctivity
occur thru this path. If you have a problem, or want to join, see Owen.
Where and When: (Default location, check above for other locations)
The meeting is at the San Jose Red Cross at Plumeria
and N. First 7:30 PM. Just two blocks north of Trimble.
Light rail crosses in front, but nobody uses it (yet).
Come early as the doors lock automatically around 7:00, you may need
to call in on the repeater to get someone to come out from the back
of the building and let you in. There is a door in the back which is
unlocked if you fail to connect. If you have your GPS in
hand, we are at 37 23.470 Latatude and -121 55.960 longitude.
Check the top of this page, we may have a dinner meering elsewhere.
