The events will involve staffing the start/finish area and 6 aid stations along the course. All communications will take place on the PCRC Bailey 2-meter repeater on 146.895 and will consist of relaying runner/biker times as they pass each aid station and provide any information regarding injuries or other emergencies along the course. These are all-day events. Both of the events take place near Bailey in the Buffalo Creek area.
Detailed information and sign up can be found on the PCRC website at www.ab0pc.org. You can contact Mike (AB0RR) at for more information.
The annual RMRL holiday dinner will be held Wednesday, December 12, 2018 from 6:00 PM to about 8:30-9:00 PM. The location is the Golden Corral buffet restaurant, 3677 S. Santa Fe Drive in Sheridan (west side of Santa Fe immediately south of Hampden).
People can start eating around 6, we will take care of club business about 7, then Santa Joe will make sure everyone receives a gift! That will be followed by a presentation by the Colorado 4×4 Rescue and Recovery group. (You can listen to their nets every Wednesday at 8:00 PM on the 146.94).
The evening will end with a drawing for a special grand prize gift. Must be a member in good standing (dues paid) and present to win! The special gift is courtesy of a generous donor. (Thank you!)
When you arrive at the restaurant, pay for your party individually and tell the cashier you are with the RMRL group. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Twice a year the ARRL offers an event designed to promote Amateur Radio to our youth.
Kids Day is designed to give on-the-air experience to young people and hopefully foster interest in getting a license of their own. It is also intended to give older hams a chance to share their station and love for Amateur Radio with their children, grandchildren, local boy- or girl-scout troop, or other youth group.
We will be connecting our IRLP node on the 145.340 repeater to the IRLP Friends Ham Radio Network that day so that kids in the Denver metro area (and beyond, see the coverage map) can talk to kids in other parts of the United States, and potentially the world. The event starts at noon, local time, and runs until 6:00pm. If there is no traffic, the connection times out, so be active and get on the air!
The ARRL provides a downloadable, printable certificate that you can print and fill out for your kid participant. They would also appreciate it if you would drop them a note via the form provided to let them know about your experiences. ARRL Kids Day web page.
At the 2016 annual meeting, our new President, Dunnigan, made a commitment to the club to have a DMR repeater on the air by the end of the year. That commitment was fulfilled in November when the club’s new Motorola SLR5700 Digital Mobile Radio repeater made its debut from Guy Hill on the club’s existing 449.750 frequency pair. For more detailed information, check out our QRZ page “The RMRL Goes Digital!”. We invite all RMRL members with DMR radios to come check it out!
Mike Kionka, KI0GO, was named the Chief Technical Officer for the club, and recognized for his extraordinary efforts and skill in keeping the RMRL repeaters in good repair and on the air. Even when the trip needs to be completed by snowmobile in several feet of snow.
As a matter of fact, all the contributors to the RMRL were recognized. We especially appreciate and acknowledge our Membership Chairman, Mike Weaver, our Monday night net controller, Bruce Minerly, our backup net controller, Steve Cosentino, our crack technical staff and contributors Mike Kionka, Tim Banks, Ed Boyer, Glenn Cascino, and Ed Weston. We also want to say thank you to our Boy Scout Representative, Roy Crosthwaite.
