Chapter 36 - Northwest Indiana

~ Creaky Knees and Rusty Keys ~


Summer Operating Contest - FINAL MONTH !
Don't forget our ongoing summer contest: Between June 1 - Aug. 31, make radio contact with as many QCWA members as you can and submit your log at our September meeting. All QCWA members, not just our chapter members. Log can be just a handwritten paper, no need for logbook or anything fancy. Include date, time, band, callsign, and QCWA number. You can lookup member numbers on the Headquarter's page on their Membership Directory. Most QSO's wins an 8x10 autographed picture of NBC5 Meteorologist Ginger Zee! In case of a tie, the person with the earliest logged contact will win. Along with her signature, Ginger wrote, I love ham radio and the QCWA! Click here to see a small version of Ginger's photo.

Help the National Weather Service
Chapter 36 Member Bill W9OPR would like your help supporting the National Weather Service with precipitation reports from your location. All you need is an inexpensive rain gauge and to report your daily amounts on the Indiana Wet Net every morning on the LaPorte ARC repeater (146.61, - offset, 131.8 PL) from 6:00-7:00am Monday-Saturday. The net is active on Sundays only if there is precipitation on Saturday night. Email , for more info. Thanks!

Please take some time and explore the rest of our website using the navigation links on the left. Email , if you have any questions about QCWA or Chapter 36. Come out and join us at one of our eating-meetings! We have a very good time, and we'd be glad to welcome you to our group.
