I am pleased to announce that Terry Schilling - N9AOT is our Ham of the Year for 2018. It was announced at our annual Awards Banquet this past weekend. As tradition, our 2017 Ham of the Year Roy - KC9VLP made the announcement by calling Terry up to the front of the room. Join me in congratulating Terry on this fine honor.

The clubs annual banquet is just around the corner. There is still time to sign up by using the special PayPal link on the front page.

I heard from the Darboy Club earlier today and they will be seating us in the Heritage Hall room, which is the one downstairs.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the banquet.

Hello all,

As many of you know there will not be a February meeting and the March meeting will be after the WQP event on Sunday March 10th, so over the duration of time remaining we'll coordinate this event in the digital world of email, FCARC website, text and through the FARC Face book page.

Please signup on the FCARC Face book site where there is an event posted by me and updates will be listed regularly.

I hope everyone attending the WQP this year will get a chance to signup early and participate in the Google map I've created for this event.

The meeting scheduled for tonight is still on. I confirmed that the building will be open.

I will not be there, so to make things easier on the others there, please renew your membership and pay for the February banquet online using the buttons on the FCARC.club home page.

The following is from the ARRL:
