Total Voters: 3  Loading ... |
It is with great sadness we share the news that Greg Jeffers N3FYD of Emporium has passed away. Greg was an active radio amateur, and was a participating member with the local clubs. He was a regular check in on our Sunday night nets, and the owner of one of the Emporium repeaters. More information will be published as details become available. The Quad County Amateur Radio Club (QCARC), has scheduled an American Radio Relay League (ARRL) amateur radio Volunteer Examination session for August 26, 2020 at 10:00 AM. All license class exams will be available. You must register and advise the exams that you intend to take, as there are limited spaces available. – No walk-ins can be accepted. To register, or for additional information contact: bryan@wa3ufn.com or (814) 371-3836 The Quad-County Amateur Radio Club will hold an online meeting August 12, 2020 at 7:00 PM. In the interest of maintaining a healthy environment for you, our members and guests, we feel the remote webinar is the optimal method to conduct meetings given today’s circumstances. An available email list of members has been sent a notice which has all of the needed information to join the meeting by computer only. (Cell phone connection is no longer available.) It may be advantageous to use voice only instead of both voice and video to eliminate drop-outs due to bandwidth limitations. Video is not required to participate. If you have not received the email notice, email Bryan at: wa3ufn@arrl.net to advise so the information can be emailed. Due to the 50 minute limitation, imposed by the webinar service provider, no program can be presented.  The members present at the December meeting unanimously voted to change the meeting dates for all future meetings to the SECOND WEDNESDAY of each month. Due to the Campus being closed, meetings are now held online. Check this web-site and the newsletter that is emailed, for information on joining the next online meeting. The meetings are scheduled on the same date and time as the on Campus meetings.
Please mark your calendars for all the following dates:
2020 meetings:
We hope this change will better accommodate our members, and will make it easier for you to attend our meetings. We look forward to seeing you soon! 73
Additionally remember that there are serious ramifications that result from the heat that builds in our vehicles. Remember to take children with you regardless of how quick you think you’ll be back. Also remember to lock the vehicle to prevent children entering the vehicle and unable to exit. Our pets are effected just as adversely with high temperatures when left in a vehicle. Leaving a window open part-way is not the answer, your pet needs to go with you.
