YOUNGSTERS SOUGHT FOR HAM RADIO ACTIVITY

CARLY, The Connecticut Amateur Radio League of Youth, is presently comprised of several youngsters-some licensed, some unlicensed. This adult supervised organization was founded in early 2000. Monthly meetings are held for the membership to discuss activities that appeal to them. Projects include licensing classes, hands on activities, such as constructing simple antennas and demonstrations of operating techniques. Onced licensed, they can enjoy talking around the world to other hams on nothing more than a computer with internet access. (The free downloadable software program used for this is called EchoLink). They often particapate in competetive on-the-air activities such as VHF/UHF Sweepstakes, New England QSO party, and the biggest annual amateur radio event- Field Day.

Most Sunday evenings members can be heard on the weekly CARLY net which is held on the W1EDH repeater 147.090 PL 110.9 at 7:00PM EST. Check-ins are welcome by any appropriately licensed person. You can also check in via EchoLink via K3KID-L
