It is with great sadness that I pass along the news of the passing of KC9VLL (Janet Ulrich)

Jim, Susie, and Rachel are current club members our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to them especially this time of year.

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.

November 16 will be the next General Membership meeting:

Thank you for helping us reach our 2015 goal to purchase a Yaesu System Fusion repeater for the 443.650 system. We have purchased our new DR-1 repeater and we are on the list for shipment. We have exceeded our fundraising goal and the extra money will stay in an account for connecting our System Fusion repeaters to WIRES-X. This would connect our repeaters to other WIRES-X systems connected to the internet. This means you could talk to a ham in Chicago from our Appleton repeater or to any other ham in the world using WIRES-X.

Many of you have been asking for the FCARC to do another club clothing order and the time is now here that you can place your orders.
All orders are due by the December general membership meeting on December 21st.
The order form can be found at http://nullradio.com/fcarc/2015_clothing.pdf
