Do to the COVID-19 pandemic the MS Society has called the 2020 Walk MS in Appleton.

The 50/50 raffle prize for this year awards banquet is for a MFJ 686B extra large 1.5K SWR Power meter.

World`s largest HF+6M SWR/Wattmeter measures a giant 6½ inches diagonally across meter scale! Covers 1.8-54 MHz.

This one you can See! Its huge scale gives you ultra-fine resolution and its big high-contrast numbers makes reading a breeze -- even across your shack.

As always it is $1.00 per ticket but you need to be at the banquet to win.

This is a QST form the ARRL Asst Section Manager, Tom - KG9EE.

Tom asked that I share it with all of our members....

FCARC's first exam of 2020 will be held Saturday, January 25 at a new location, Maplewood Middle School, 1600 Midway Road, Menasha 54952. The room is on the SE corner of the building, door 17.

The 146.760 repeater has been turned off due to high SWR from the antenna. The state will not allow us access to the tower until a new lease agreement is in place.. We are waiting for them to send it to us for Board approval. Until then the repeater will be left off to prevent damage.

Hi all,

Had an email from an amateur in Manawa (David Young - K9DLY) selling his HF and VHF stations. The gear for sale is a Yaesu 857D with 1,300 watt amp, a 75 watt 2 meter rig and 2 power supplies.
According to David, the "Station goes as a package" and "wants it to go to a good home"

Sharpen your negotiating skills and give David a call. Call David at 920-596-3885 or via email at tipdog31@gmail.com
