January Update
At our January meeting the club elected officers for the coming year. Emmett Bonner WA4UWD is once again the Secretary, Gary “Smitty” Smith N3DCA is our new Vice President and Brian Rozelle AB3RW returns as President. Plans were made for our March event. We are looking for members to assist in setting up for the event and to help with testing at the event.
We will also welcome Phil Stalnaker W3ICF and several others with an informative presentation on Icom radios and D-Star at our February meeting. Anyone wishing to learn a little more about either of these topics are invited to join us Monday February 16 at 7:00 in the Social Hall at the Independent Hose Company fire station on Baughmans Ln. in Frederick.

The exchange is the call sign and name. Certificates for most verified contacts will be awarded for low power (10w or under) and high power (over 10w). Contestants can participate from their QTH, mobile or pedestrian mobile. Be sure to include your power category along with your logs. Submit your logs by October 20 to:

Gran Fondo
Frederick ARES and the Frederick Amateur Radio Club will again be providing
communications support for the Gran Fondo Bike Race this year on August
24th. We need operators with a mobile or HT 2M rig willing to man the four
checkpoints (timing stations) during this event. Operations will be the same
as last year, and you can go to http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1363618 for
the times and locations (click on the green icons). Plan on using either the
MADXRA or FARG repeater systems.
While Gran Fondo isn’t a “non-profit” organization, we got a nice donation
from them which was then donated to the MADXRA group for the maintenance of
their repeater system.
For the locations with longer hours, we will try and limit the shifts to 4
hours. As always, you don’t have to be a member of ARES, FARC, or MADXRA –
just a ham willing to lend a hand.
Please let me know if you’re available. Thanks.
