The annual Cycling race around Lake Winnebago will take place this Sunday - August 20th. Our local ARES group has asked if they can use the 146.76 repeater to help their communication as they support the race.

Please gave Race the Lake support communications priority on our repeater on Sunday.

The annual picnic is Saturday, August 19th, starting at 11am.
This is a family event so bring the folks you hold dear.
It's a potluck so please bring a dish to pass. The club will provide brats, burgers, hot dogs and soda/water. We'll have corn if I can find it.
Sunset Park, Kimberly, Pavilion #1.
We should have a fox hunt and you are encouraged to bring some radio gear to show off. Sorry, no raffle.

Certificates are available by sending a QSL & SASE (certificate size 8-1/2x11, certificates are printed on premium 90# stock) to:

W9ZL Special Event
PO Box 2346
Appleton, WI 54912

Please note the change in print stock from past years. These are heavy bond stock and it's a pity to have to fold them up! Please use a certificate sized envelope.

The 145.330 repeater will be taken off air today while the Neenah water tower is repainted; this is likely to take 2 months.

I’ll make another announcement both here and on Facebook when the repeater is once again available.
