September 11 RARC meeting reminder

The next Rochester Amateur Radio Club (RARC) monthly meeting is at 7pm this coming Tuesday September 11th at the American Red Cross Building, 310 14th Street SE, in Rochester.

All members are encouraged to bring a guest or encourage a new licensee to attend as we work towards setting up clubs in local schools. The program this month will be multipart:

  • KØMD Scott will do a brief audio/video presentation on Ham Radio in China.
  • The Education Task Force will present a progress report on the sponsorship by RARC of Rochester Public Schools and/or Schaeffer Academy as satellite stations. This will dovetail with a report on the 3rd quarter Ham Radio class that will take place on this Saturday September 8 from 8-5 with testing Sept 13 6:30pm at the Red Cross. We have a donated GAP Challenger vertical antenna which can be used at a future school station if approved by the facilities owner.
  • In light of the emergency response services required recently by torrential rains and floods, we should discuss our practices, team lists, equipment, and our ability as an organization to respond appropriately to disasters (either as part of the program or ARES committee reports).

With a busy night of program events I encourage those with "new hams" questions or a desire to ragchew please try to join us before 7pm.

SEE YOU TUESDAY! 73s Dave KØVH
