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.
https://www.pacesetters-run.org/stjoes5krunwalk

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

Between 8am and 12pm the 145.330MHz repeater will be used by operators supporting the Soleburner event.

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

We will lock the repeater’s transmitter in Analog mode until I can get back to the site after the FCARC’s corn roast in the afternoon.

Thanks,

Andy

It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of the loss of Judy Kosiorek, WJ9K. Judy's warm heart and determined spirit blessed so many, including our club. We are better for her contributions to our ham family. She will be greatly missed.

Judy's obituary can be found at https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/postcrescent/name/judy-kosiorek-obi....

The FCARC is holding ham exams Saturday, July 24, 2021 at Maplewood Middle School, 1600 Midway Road, Menasha, 54952.

We will continue to practice our Covid-19 virus protocol by maintaining safe distancing and strongly recommend unvaccinated attendees wear a face mask. If you are feeling sick or have a fever STAY HOME! Test areas will be marked and sanitized between each use.

Pre-registration is preferred but walk ins will be allowed. Those that pre-register will be tested first.

Please read the following carefully:

After much discussion and review the Club has decided we can not hold the EAA W9ZL Event Station his year. With sharing of microphones and radio equipment, and having to be in close proximity to log contacts and train the kids in equipment use we felt it couldn't be done safely. I realize that precautions are starting to be rolled back now, but I have missed the publishing dead lines for event announcements in the hobby publications and also have not started recruiting the 20+ people needed to man the shifts.

Congratulations to the winners of the ARRL gift certificates.
$25 winner - Rudy Reynebeau, KD9RPW
$25 winner - Shaun O'Bre, KD9RQB
$50 winner - Laurel Eihusen, KD9AJT

Thank you, Zoom. You served us well but your time is done. You may stand down.

I want to extend a serious THANK YOU to Donna, Andy and Joel for their extraordinary efforts to give us this option during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are grateful.
