Field Day 2016 is happening now!

Come join us at The Grange Hall on the corner of HWY 76 and BB just to the south of Outagamie Airport.

Contesting runs from 1pm Saturday to 1 pm Sunday local time.

See you there!

It is with the greatest of sadness that I inform you of the passing of Gloria Root N9SVB.

Gloria and her husband Vern N9RQM have been long standing members of the club and many of you will remember their help with many of the events and especially helping with the trailers we used previously for Field Day.

Gloria will be sadly missed and our prayers go out to Vern in his time of mourning.

In compiling the Operators Schedule for the 2016 EAA Special Event Station I
have found that as to date (05/10/16) we are in need of additional operators.

There are positions available on all shifts through out the event, but I am in
particular need of additional operators for Friday 7/29, Saturday 7/30 and
Sunday 7/31.

Sign-up is available on the club web site at: http://fcarc.us/node/39

The FCARC supports a monthly net to help interested hams learn about & practice Slow Scan TV (SSTV) on 2 meters. You are invited to join. FCARC membership is not necessary. This is a semi-formal, directed net. We meet at 6 pm using both FM voice & SSTV transmissions on 145.330 MHz, Tone 100. All SSTV transmissions are in Martin 2.

I will begin sending a few SSTV pictures prior to the net beginning at 5:45 pm for your enjoyment, and then I'll call for checkins at 6 pm.

The sign-up for this years EAA Special Event Station is now open
to all ARRL members and will be drawing sign-up to a close later
in the month of May.
This has to be done so the EAA can finalize their planning into accommodate us
during the event.
