Welcome to the SCARC inc. promoting the South Coast Amateur Radio Club inc. and the interest in Amateur Radio.

The SCARC is located in the Southern Suburbs of Adelaide in South Australia, right where the hills meets the sea.  Our Members meet regularly to socialise, update and listen to guest speakers on related topics.  If this sounds like something you wish to become involved with, certainly have a look around and by all means get in touch with us, as we would like to see you down this way.. drop in and say "G'Day!"

All the best 73's, SCARC.

Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally

Sat 22rd Sun 23rd June 2013

--------------------------------------

The Rally has approached SCARC to coordinate and provide radio operators for this event.  SCARC Members and friends are asked to seriously consider volunteering some time operating SA-GRN radios providing scoring of rally cars (with/without) times to Rally Control.  We need Start, SOS and Finish communications for scoring, using SA-GRN which requires somewhat stricter radio operator protocols.  Thurs 30th May is Information night, where talk on processes and procedures for rally, GRN and Control which includes some software (excel spreadsheet entries).

We would appreciate it if you could please register at the Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally Website under Officials selecting Radio Operator (SCARC).

Please send me an email notifying which email address you want (if not already) listed on the RALLY Mailng List.

You will be receiving necessary information regarding the rally via this list.

 I look forward to hearing from you, where our Community Support can provide exposure for everyone's benefit.

Thanks heaps and will see you Thurs 30th May at Clubrooms - Railway Road, Seaford Meadows.

Kindest Regards,

Stef Daniels VK5HSX

Jaycar has kindly provided SCARC Members with a discount at its store, when presented with Membership Card on purchase of an item.

The South Coast Amateur Radio Club was involved in helping Tony Hutchison VK5ZAI on his final school coordination for the contact with International Space Station (ISS), as Cmdr Hadfield aboard the station talked to students from Christ the King School in Warradale (South Australia).  Using a Telebridge link to NASA, with radio link via Claudio IK1SLD using his home station.  The pass lasted almost 10 minutes, with a little noise towards the end of the contact, however, those students and parents who witnessed the event were thoroughly enthrawled with the whole QSO.

Well let's get started for a great day with SCARC's fundraising activity at Bunnings in Noarlunga tomorrow (4th May).  Several crews change over, with hopefully a steady stream of customers throughout the day, queing up to purchase a Sausage Sandwich from us.
