Club Info
The Enterprise Amateur Radio Society (EARS) meets the third Thursday of every month at 7 PM at the Enterprise-Ozark Community College, Room S-100. Visitors are always welcome. (There is no meeting in December due to our annual Christmas dinner.) A number of club members also get together for breakfast, lunch or dinner on various days at various locations at various times. Feel free to come join us anytime.
Amateur exams are available by appointment following every monthly meeting. To schedule an exam call Tom Barefoot (WA4YQT) at 763-0532 at least 24 hours in advance. EARS maintains a voice repeater on 147.240+ MHz. It is a Micro Control Specialties Mark IV. The antenna is atop a 150-foot tower located just north of Enterprise (EM71BI). The repeater has emergency power and is affiliated with the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES). A new UHF (443.250+) repeater will soon be added. There are two wide-area Automatic Position Reporting System (APRS) digipeaters - one located at the EOCC, Enterprise Campus (WD4ROJ-1 at 31° 17' 52"N, 85° 50' 10"W) and another in Dothan (WD4ROJ-2 at 31° 13' 43" N, 85° 23' 37" W) - operating on a frequency of 144.390 MHz. Both stations are WIDEn digipeaters which allow real-time processing and position display of certain Ham stations, including those using GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites. There are also plans to add a third unit at the voice repeater site shortly. |
