First, thanks to everyone who came out to last month’s meeting–we had a full house! Here are some pics to prove it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Ed, N2TE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our next meeting will be on Monday, February 10th, at 7:00 PM<\/strong> at Parkview Baptist Church<\/strong> in Lakeland. It’s right across the street from Lakeland Regional Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve got an exciting update for those interested in digital radio! The Fusion repeater in Bartow (145.27 MHz)<\/strong>–a joint effort between the Lakeland and Lake Wales clubs–now has Wires-X<\/strong> enabled! If you have a Yaesu radio that supports C4FM and Wires-X<\/strong>, you can take advantage of this new functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help us all understand how to use it properly, Russ Delany, N4RTD<\/strong>, will be joining us right after ham testing to give an overview of Wires-X, including basic instructions and best practices for operating on the system. He’s also provided a helpful guide on his website: https:\/\/delaney.rocks\/wires-x\/<\/a>. Check it out before the meeting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you arrive, be sure to check in<\/strong> at the table inside the entrance. There will be a QR code that links to a website for easy check-in. If you need assistance, don’t hesitate to ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking Ahead: LARC Spring Picnic!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 15th<\/strong>–it’s time for the annual LARC Spring Picnic<\/strong>! We’ll be gathering at Colt Creek State Park’s Blue Heron Pavilion<\/strong> starting around 9 AM<\/strong>. More details will be shared at the February meeting, but one highlight you won’t want to miss: Fred, K1DU, will be setting up antennas. You can use them for a POTA activation!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you all at the meeting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
