In case you haven't heard, there's a morning ragchew net.
It happens on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 0930.
It has recently been moved back to 146.760 MHz repeater.
Join in if you can make it.

For those that have already renewed... THANK YOU! We even have three members that are renewed to the end of 2023!
Unfortunately... only half of us have renewed. 44 of 115 (plus a few of you that renewed in person)

For those that have yet to renew... please do. Your support helps keep the club financially stable.

We'll be powering 443.650 off later today preparing for it to be reinstalled at Oneida Heights.

The 145.330 repeater will have a few small outages while we reinstall the power amplifier. This will increase power output by >=3dB and it will mean the repeater itself can be turned down to 5W to drive the amplifier.

Thank you to everyone that helped out on this event! The Pacesetters look to double the participants next year, so we'll need more volunteers.
A special thanks to those that helped overcome the glitches. Larry for the rescue radio. Mike - the cool one - for performing the rescue mission. Kirby for protecting the final stretch when the assigned guy wandered off just after the start.

The 50/50 $1.00 raffle is back starting this September, but you must be present at the club meeting to win. This month we will raffle a MFJ 267 dry 1.5K dummy load.
 
World's most versatile 1.5 kW dummy load has a built-in true peak reading SWR/Wattmeter that you can switch and use independently!
 

The tradition continues! The Fox Cities Amateur Radio Club will be supporting the St. Joe's 5K Run/Walk again this year.
Volunteers are needed for Saturday, October 9th.

This is a new course but it's still 5 kilometers - so the event goes pretty fast. You'll be home for lunch.
Help support this very worthy cause and the FCARC.
Contact Mike Moore for more details or to volunteer. kmikemoo@hotmail.com

Between 5am and 3pm on August 22nd the 146.760 repeater will be used by the Fond-Du-Lac ARES group to support the annual Race the Lake event.

The repeater committee would appreciate club members who aren't involved keep the repeater clear for their use during this time.

Thanks,

Andy
