We have started a new morning net everyday at 9:00AM on the 147.045 or the 442.350 club repeaters with a PL tone of 100. Since our Club Meetings have been cancelled until further notice, the Board Members thought it would be a good thing to have a net every morning to check on the health and welfare of our Members. This is not a formal net, and anyone anywhere can check in, especially all of our hams in neighboring counties! So, pour yourself a cup of coffee and come join us for some informational and sometimes humorous conversations! Also, please join us on our weekly Club Net Wednesday nights at 8:30PM.
73 Everyone!
Due to the spike in COVID 19 cases in Highlands County the past couple of weeks, the Board has decided to cancel the in person Club meeting at Dee’s for August. Subsequent in person meetings will be decided on month to month by the Board. Check your email for the Club Zoom meeting notices. Thank you, HCARC Board of Directors.
If you would like to be invited to the ZOOM meeting and you're not currently on my email list, please email me at KM4VRU@gmail.com with your email address and I will put you on the list.
The August QCWA meeting will be on Wednesday the 18th at noon in the back room at Dee's Place.
Hope everyone is doing well. Stay healthy and safe! 73...
