Here is the presentation Tom gave at the meeting: QSLing by NY4I
SPARC
The station crew invites you to stop by the station on Saturday August 29 at 10:00AM to help reorganize (read clean) the station and storage areas. We will break for lunch and then convene the SPARC Executive Board meeting at 2:00PM. All are welcome.
This month’s meeting program by Tom Schaefer, NY4I will cover the various methods
of confirming a 2-way contact. Known as QSLing, direct, incoming and outgoing QSL bureaus (buros), as well as ARRL’s Logbook of The World (LoTW) will be covered.
For those that have had challenges with LoTW, this is the program for you. Tom will walk you through how to start and complete your LoTW registration. Experienced hams bring your interesting QSL cards and show them off.

All radios desiring to access the SPARC 440MHz repeater MUST now transmit a 146.2Hz tone to activate the repeater.

Things are always happening at SPARC. But, how do you hear about them? Maybe you don’t get to make the 6:30 PM nightly 2-meter net as often as you like (147.060 no tone required, + offset). Well, we have additional ways to keep you in the loop.
