JRC Radio ClubOnce again this year our valiant members cooperated in the success of the famous Gran Fondo bicycle race. The competition was held on October 1, 2023. Many members participated from the operations center, and some with the usual gazebos along the route, providing radio support to the organization. The weather was kind and the propagation propitious. Finally, everything was enlivened by homemade flatbreads with bologna, cold beer and more!
On November 24, 2023, tests were held, organized by the friends of Ari Varese, of the radio systems installed in the municipalities of the province. Once again many of us contributed to the successful outcome of the exercises by going out to activate stations in various municipalities around the province. This year the rehearsals will be in two tranches, and we hope that for the second tranche (scheduled for next December 18) we will be able to use our station as well!!!
On this occasion, regional RAI did a report that we invite you to watch.
Many of our members will participate in radio support of the“Campo dei Fiori Trail” race, a 50km race with 2000mt of elevation gain… serious stuff. The coordination of the race radio stations is delegated to our member Claudio.
Now instead I say to you, sleepy member: if you would like to help us with assistance (and thus also have an excuse not to run) contact us to be attached to one of the gazebos we are organizing!
Flock to it in large numbers. The more radio amateurs enter, the more runners are saved!
On Dec. 18, 2022, we mobilized to provide radio assistance to the laudable charity initiative organized by our colleagues from the JRC Joint Running Club: the“I Runfor Purple” run. Braving the inclement weather, as more than 250 people paced the streets of Ispra, we set up a dozen race support and assistance points.
This is also the first time our club has been officially mentioned and thanked, which is always nice. The greatest pleasure remains being available to people, with a hobby that also has a social utility.
I’d say we’re starting to get the hang of it!
On October 16, 2022, tests of the civil defense radio systems of the province of Varese were held. Once again many of us contributed to the successful outcome of the exercises by going out to activate stations in various municipalities around the province. With the occasion, some novice radio amateurs (fresh from a course taught by our valiant Claudio IK2YWN) were introduced to this magical world of emergency communications. The usual gargantuan morning breakfast before rehearsals could not be missed…see you next time!
Many of us are going to participate in the annual test of the VHF / ARI emergency radio communications network of the Varese province. This is organized by the Varese Prefecture and the Italian Amateur Radio Association.
Basically we “man” the radio stations fitted in the town halls of the province, to carry out a functionality test, using both voice and digital transmission techniques.
Stay tuned … in every sense! 🙂
