VWS Email Mailing Lists

In addition to the full membership mailing list used for the eRelay and special announcements, we also host the following lists via Google Groups:

Please note that these mailing lists are intended for the Vienna Wireless Society membership. If you're not already a member and you're interested in joining one of our lists, please consider also becoming a club member. Dues are quite inexpensive and an application form is available elsewhere on this web site.

VWS-General
This is our general discussion list. Anything of general interest can be discussed here.

Balloon
Discussions about ballooning. We set this up to support our balloon launch planning and operations. List traffic is high during the immediate prep and launch window but otherwise quite low volume.

CW
This is a mailing list dedicated to discussions about CW, or Morse code. This mailing list supports our CW Forum which helps those interested in becoming proficient or more proficient with CW.

EME
This is a mailing list dedicated to discussions about EME, or Earth-Moon-Earth communications (also known as moon bounce.) Other very weak signal modes such as troposcatter, meteor scatter, and low power beaconing may be discussed. Fairly low volume discussion of technical details and planning for club EME attempts.

FieldDay
Field Day preparations are discussed on this list. Field Day is our biggest club operation next to our Winterfest hamfest.

Halloween
We have an opportunity to help the Town of Vienna again this year by providing communication support during the Halloween Parade. Details will be provided here. If you can come help out on the Wednesday prior to Halloween, please sign up for this list.

NAQP
The North American QSO Party is a twice-a-year contest we participate in. We've operated out of the campground at Lake Fairfax in August and out of Harpers Ferry, WV, Town Hill, MD, and Middleburg, VA in January. This mailing list supports discussion of our NAQP and other operating events.

RDF
RDF stands for Radio Direction Finding. This list supports our fox hunting operations. If you'd like to get involved in hidden transmitter hunting, this one is for you.

SDR
This list is dedicated to discussions about software defined radio, or SDR. This is also an appropriate list for discussions of various digital communications modes especially those using computer sound cards and associated applications.

Winterfest
This is a discussion group for our annual Winterfest hamfest, held on the last Sunday in February at the Annandale campus of the Northern Virginia Community College.

To join any of our lists, click on the list name above. This will take you to the Google Groups home page for the group where you can sign up to participate and review past message traffic. After you join any of our lists, please post a message to introduce yourself to the rest of the group.

If you need any assistance with the mailing lists, please contact Pete Norloff, KG4OJT.
