New Member Area
The CCA has opened a new area of the Collinsradio.org (CCA) website. This is a member’s only area and is accessed by logging in with your user ID (your call sign) and the password that you were issued when you renewed your membership for 2013 on the website.
For you non-members, you have not lost any of the great functionality that you are getting now.
For our members, you are gaining a number of functions and features that have not existed in the past. This is consistent with the CCA policy of providing great support for non-members (in the interest of preservation and historical archiving), but also providing increasing member benefits for those folks that choose to support our efforts and want to receive the Signal Magazine and clothing store discounts – as well as other member benefits..
If you are a CCA member, log in and take a look.
Some of the new features include:
Managing your data profile and entering a biographical sketch on line
Discounts at CCA functions like the Dayton Hamvention Banquet Dinner and Dallas HamCom Dinner.
Technical Tools (Design aids and maintenance tools)
Attenuator Design (Balanced & Unbalanced and Tee or Pi)
db, Vrms, Vp-p, Line Power vs Vp-p, Calculators
Related Tutorials (Training)
S-Line Crystal Calculator (Lets you find the correct crystal for a band – or the inverse for your transmitter or receiver)
Printable Smith Chart
Coming Soon:
Member to Member sharing – Profile, Photos & Bio
Access to High Resolution Collins ads that can be downloaded for display or presentation use
CCA Member Screen Saver free downloads
Highlighted Schematics of popular rigs defining functional paths – for use in trouble shooting.
AND, we are not done yet !!
If you have not renewed, you will get your password and user ID confirmation automatically when you renew your 2013 CCA membership.
If you renewed by mail and have not received a password, contact skerr@trackersoft.com for your password.
If you have forgotten your password, just go to the logon page and use the password reset function.
You will also, of course, get the four Special Anniversary Issues of the CCA Signal Magazine.
For those of you who are not members, the Signal is now 20-28 pages of great information and photos in full color and with a gloss cover – stitch bound.. No longer even close to a small newsletter, it has become a professional grade magazine that we can all be proud of and collect.
SOOOOOOO……. To get your 4 quarterly Anniversary Signal Magazine Issues for 2013, and enjoy your new “Members Only” area of the improved CCA website, renew now, or join us if you have not previously been a member. We think you will like what you see and get. Just go to the collinsradio.org website and click on MEMBERSHIP.
