ABOUT THE CLUB
The Hot Springs Amateur Radio Club (HSARC) is located in Hot Springs South Dakota. We hold regular meetings on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm.
OUR MISSION
An amateur radio operator is an individual who typically uses equipment at an station to engage in two-way personal communications with other similar individuals, on radio frequencies assigned to the amateur radio service by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States and the International Telecommunication Union worldwide.
Proper Etiquette for Using Repeaters
Leave pauses: so others can join in your call. Listen Before You Talk: If you just turned your radio on listen for a minute before transmitting so you do not step into an ongoing conversation.. Station Identification & Making a Call: “This is K...O... on the .700 repeater” If someone is scanning this tells them where you are. Roundtables: With more than two people, make sure to send it to the next person in the group. Nets and Emergency Net Situations: Respect others use of the equipment. Be mindful that you are representing all Hams in a very large geographical area since our repeaters are linked countrywide. DO NOT Monopolize the repeater.
