Recent JBER Newspaper Story on EARS

The Elmendorf Amateur Radio Society is the latest in a long history of Amateur Radio Clubs on Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, Alaska. The club continues the tradition of maintaining the Military Amateur Recreation Club Station KL7AIR.  Originally the KL7AIR call was assigned to the Alaskan Air Command, then the 1931^st Communications Squadron and in 1996 the current club took on the responsibility of maintaining the call and station. If you’re interested in helping with our ongoing project of making sure there will always be a

Military Amateur Recreation Station on Elmendorf, join us.

This station also supports the Alaska Amateur Radio Emergency Service.

We host the AK ARES VHF RMS and operate digipeaters for the area VHF Packet Nodes.

Digipeater usage instructions:

On your terminal display type “c eagle v ears” for Digi to the Eagle Packet Node 145.01

or type “c valley v ears” for the Valley Packet Node 147.96.

ARES VHF RMS Usage: Using either Paclink or Airmail connect to WL7CVG-10 on 144.90.

You will need to have already established a Winlink Account at Winlink.org. When you first create an

account, Winlink will send an email to you that you can retrieve on air or via Telnet using the

Paclink or Airmail programs. This system will store messages if the internet connection is lost and send

them when the internet is restored. We can also manually move messages from VHF to HF if needed.

These programs will also allow you to send or receive email via HF

if you have Pactor capabilities. ARES HF RMS WL7CVG is operating from the AK Native Medical Center

and scans multiple frequencies for connection requests. This system will forward mail over

HF to another RMS should the internet connection be lost.

There is a Winlink mailbox for KL7AIR@WINLINK.ORG if you need to test your mail on VHF or Telnet.
