Who: we are a group of like minded Radio Operators who love working portable from beaches mountain tops and anywhere in between. And as a group we strive to maintain good operating practices, and to uphold the Dx Code of Conduct. ( read the DX Code of Conduct here)
Why: By doing regular portable operations we know we are ready and prepared in the case of a natural disaster or other emergency to mobilize within the shortest possible time at any location on any band. In this manner we can be ready to render service at a moments notice to the community when needed.
By being portable we learn what works as an antenna, and to make do with what is in our kit, to be inventive.
By being out there the public is made aware of Amateur Radio and can see and hear first hand what it is all about.
When: We go portable in general on Sundays as time permits, and some of us go during the week even when there is some time available. We also take advantage of long weekends to plan camping trips to various areas on the island.
Who can join? anybody can join so long as you have an interest in Amateur Radio, if you hold a license it is a plus, you bring your radio is a plus, bring your own antenna is also a plus but none are a must. We firmly believe it is about having fun and fostering a friendship around the hobby.
