EARS monthly meetings:

army

EARS monthly meetings are held on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at the Salvation Army building in Escondido.

Their address is as follows:

The Escondido Salvation Army,
1301 Las Villas Way,
Escondido.

Talk-in is on 146.880 MHz, minus offset, PL 107.2.

The meetings are usually technical, educational or informative in nature. For a list of the proposed meeting dates and topics for 2010, click on the following link:

Specific details of the next meeting can be found nearer the top of this web page.

Note: There are no meetings in August or December because of the EARS summer picnic and Christmas party.

The Escondido Amateur Radio Society is also involved with the
Salvation Army Canned Food Drive.

When you attend the meetings, please try to bring some canned goods and place them in the receptacle located by the sign-in sheet next to the entrance to the chapel.

This really helps in feeding the many folks the Salvation Army has to support throughout the year, and this is one small way of giving back to them for all their support they give us.

Last Thoughts:

wedothat arrl

The Escondido Amateur Radio Society is affiliated to the Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL).

Many EARS members are also members of Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) and other agencies such as RACES & ARES.

They regularly participate in drills, and are active in assisting with communications during times of disaster, such as Hurricane Katrina, and the wild-fires that we have in California.

So, if you're interested in knowing what's been happening in EARS in the past... please feel free to look at any of the 'ALL EARS' news letters - available to download in the General section.
