Secretary of SCARS, the local Amateur Radio Club.
the South Canadian River runs on the south side of Norman.
We operate VHF and UHF Repeaters
on 147.060 and 443.700. The SCARS
membership runs between 80 - 100 members. We meet at 9:30 AM on the second
Saturday of each month at Fire Station #7 near Westheimer Airport. Our main
activities include Field Day and a Special Event Station during 89'r Day.
Norman is the home of the Univ. of Oklahoma. The National
Weather Service
and Severe Storm Labs also have large
facilities here. Being in the heart of "Tornado Alley"
we get our share of severe weather, often enough to enable
Skywarn and Emergency Nets.
Storm Spotting and AmateurRadio go hand in hand.
