It’s time for the next LARC meeting! We’ll meet on Monday evening, February 9th at 7:00 p.m.
With Valentine’s Day coming up, we find ourselves right in the heart of contesting season. With that in mind, Buddy Morgan, WB4OMG, has put together a program focused on CW contesting. Buddy will also share information about the Florida QSO Party, coming up on the weekend of April 25th and 26th.
That event is still a couple of months away, but it’s our chance to be “the hunted” instead of just another hunter — a great way to represent Florida and LARC on the air.
As usual, if you would like to earn your first amateur radio license or upgrade the one you already have, ham testing begins at 5:30 p.m.
Russ, N4RTD, coordinates testing for the club. Thanks, Russ!
Both the meeting and testing will be held at our usual location:
Parkview Baptist Church, directly across from LRH.
More Upcoming Events
Orlando HamCation takes place the weekend of February 13–15. If you don’t already have a ticket, admission is $25 at the door. This is a huge hamfest — the second largest in the country — and you can easily spend hours just wandering the flea market.
For more information, visit hamcation.com.
Fred, K1DU, is organizing an operating event at the Kathleen Historical Society on Saturday, April 4th, during one of their festivals. This is always a fun outreach opportunity. Operating runs from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., but Fred is looking for help around sunup to get antennas in the air and equipment set up. In the past, this event has been a great way to introduce local visitors to amateur radio.
See you at the meeting!****
