Please join us for the Frederick Amateur Radio Club meeting on Monday April 21st at 7pm. Meetings are held in the social hall of the Independent Hose Company, located at 310 Baughmans Lane in Frederick. Parking and entrance are in the rear of the building. This month, we’ll look back at how radio was used by UK Special Operations Executive (SOE) in conjunction with resistance forces during World War Two, as presented by Matt Halsey KC3OIV. All members of the local community are welcome to join us.
Just a reminder that we have “Elmer Time” from 6:15 until just before the meeting starts. This is a time to bring questions about radio and technical issues – there’s a good chance that one of our regulars can help. And you can also just come early to chat. As always, it’s best to join us in person, however if that simply isn’t possible, please join via Zoom using this link: FARC Zoom 2025 Please put your name or call sign into your Zoom profile, so we know that you’re not a bot.
