Our shack is located in the Gloucester City Police Athletic Building (former Brown Street School, 51 S. Brown St.) at Brown and Somerset Street. We have HF/VHF/ UHF equipment available. PSK 31 operating with an Alpha Delta Dipole and voice/cw HF operating with a Gap Titan DX antenna. The two VHF/UHF transceivers operate with a Diamond Dual Band antenna and a 5/8 wave whip. We also have a YAESU System Fusion UHF repeater on line.
The shack is located in the building ground floor and is available for limited general use. The GAP Titan DX antenna, the Alpha Delta Dipole antenna and the Diamond Dual Band antenna have been connected to the respective transceivers. a six meter folded dipole has been added to the our "antenna farm". We have operated all the transceivers and they working just fine. See photos on Club Pictures page. If any member desires to operate, please call me at 856-397-3703 and I will be to open the shack for you. Bring a friend, licensed or not along to observe and operate as desired.
The new space is much larger and consists of two rooms. The front room is the main shack and the next room is the class room and lab. Both rooms are heated and air conditioned. The plan is to conduct exams at least once a month. The function of the lab will be for equipment maintenance and kit building, as desired..
