Come join in on a daily get together. 145.33 repeater FM mode. It will be open mike and talk about whatever you want. We are house bound but we can still communicate what is on our minds. See you there.

Over the next 10 days or so, the Board of the FCARC will be doing a series of Zoom "virtual meeting" tests in order to prepare to use it for our April and possibly May General Membership meetings. The way this will work is that an email will go out to each of the members of the club in the week leading up to the General Membership meeting. The email will show the date and time of the meeting (for example April 20 at 7:00pm). The email will also have a link that will need to be clicked on at the time that you want to join the meeting.

The sign-up for this years EAA Special Event Station is now open to
all FCARC members. Sign up will be opening to all ARRL members
latter in April 2020. Sign up will be drawing to a close on
May 07 2020. This has to be done so the EAA can finalize their
planning to accommodate us during the event.

With an abundance of caution the FCARC VE Team has cancelled the ham exams on March 21, 2020 in Menasha due to the fast spreading Covid-19 virus.

Please alert anybody you may know that was planning on testing that day.

The next scheduled exam is May 30, 2020 in Menasha.

Regards,
Rick, W9RIC, FCARC VE Coordinator
