Fellow FCARC members,

I have just received the following request from David Zimma KJ7JG. It had been first discussed during the 2018 Kidventure the aspect of adding an electronics booth to the Kidventure projects area. The children would be building a small receiver tuned on the control tower frequency. The project would entail some basic soldering of through hole components on a circuit board. .

The FCARC once again will be in the Appleton Flag Day parade. This year we are unit #33. This is a large event to honor the flag and a branch of military. It is also an excellent opportunity for us to promote ham radio and club membership.

We will operate two special event stations on Saturday June 8th 2019 beginning at 1:30 pm (local) and operating until the end of the parade at approximately 3:30 pm. We hope you will work W9ZL on one or both bands.

There will be a 20m SSB station operating around 14.246 MHz.

The next Ham Exam date is Saturday, June 1, 2019.
Exams are held at the Fox Valley Technical College, room B142. Use entrance door 12 on the west side of the building. Walk-ins are welcomed. Registration begins at 8 am and ends at 9 am. Late arrivals cannot be accommodated because of limited room time. A pictured government issued I.D. is required. Please see the ARRL.org license information for other forms of acceptable I.D.

CommunityFest 2019 is quickly approaching! This event is a great way to enjoy the summer sun, festivities, and company of other hams.

The American Cancer Society has estimated over 5,000 participants for this years event.

This event will require a significant number of volunteers to adequately cover and complete the communication and logistic demand on the FCARC and it's membership.

This event will take about 4 hours in its entirety with some operators checking out early.

It will be helpful if you would indicate you have the time to cover a begining and end location this year.

This year Field Day will be held on June 22nd and 23rd. With the clubs new Ham Van and telescoping tower this will open the door for different antenna configuration and set ups.
This year I want to set up teams, SSB team, CW team, VHF/UHF team and Meet and Greet (GOTA) team. The teams can work on antennas, equipment, computers, and operating station.

Hello all FCARC members,

Your attendance will be greatly appreciated in providing a valued community service and working with a controlled net under W9ZL control.

all FCARC members. Sign up will be opening to all ARRL members
latter in April 2019. Sign up will be drawing to a close on
