Happy New Year & January Business Meeting

The first Panama City ARC business meeting of 2011 is Wednesday January 5th at 7PM at the club house. We will set the course for 2011. Ideas for consideration are ham license classes, a spring tailgate, Field Day, and youth outreach events. A major focus is to increase membership as insurance costs may close the club house. So we are encouraging all local hams to join. The annual membership is $20 and the treasurer will sign you up at the meeting. We also solicit your ideas for operating events, fund raising and publicity. So see you there!

PCARC Code Class Open to New Students

A code class at the PCARC club house continues and can fold in new students.
Sessions will be one hour long on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays at 7PM at the PCARC
clubhouse.

The goal is to enable students to have the ability copy and send morse code and
be familiar with CW on-the-air operating practices. From that point students can
continue improving on their own.

Code practice will be required between sessions. A key (cheap) and a code
practice oscillator is highly recommended.


We use these Podcasts  and this Code Presentation.

Thanks,

Greg Lane
