October 2025 FARC meeting

Please join us on Monday October 20th for the monthly meeting of the Frederick Amateur Radio Club. This month in lieu of a presentation, we’ll be having a mini hamfest to sell the equipment of our late pal Luke W3JP. All of the proceeds go to Luke’s widow Carol. We will be selling the equipment via silent auction style; each item will have a sheet on which you can bid. At the end of the night, the high bidder for each item buys that item. We will accept payment by cash, check or Zelle. You can see a listing of the items for sale here: Luke Silent Auction. If you cannot join us in person, please conspire with a friend to bid by proxy.

We meet at 7pm 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. ALSO we begin setting up around 6pm – feel free to join us and socialize before the meeting. We welcome ALL members of the local community to join us – no need to be a club member or a licensed amateur. Most of us were not club members at our first meeting – we like it when new people visit!

If you cannot join us in person, consider joining via Zoom, using this link: FARC Zoom 2025

If joining via Zoom, please include your name and/or call sign in your profile, so that we can distinguish you from a bot. Also, in order to minimize extraneous background noise, please keep yourself muted except as needed to participate.

In person or via Zoom, I hope to see you on Monday.

73!

Frederick Amateur Radio Club September Meeting

When working portable, and operator needs three things: a radio, an antenna, and power. At the September club meeting, members are invited to bring their portable power solutions for a show and tell extravaganzapalooza. We’ll meet on Monday September 15th at 7pm in the social hall of the Independent Hose Company, located at 310 Baughmans Lane in Frederick. Parking and social hall entrance are located in the rear of the building. We use the time between 6 and 7 as informal question & answer and general chat – please feel free to arrive early. We welcome ALL members of the local community to join us – if you have any interest in radio, please stop by!

Of course, the show ‘n’ tell works best in person, but if that’s not an option for you, consider joining via Zoom, using this link: FARC Zoom 2025

If joining via Zoom, please include your name and/or call sign in your profile, so that we can distinguish you from a bot. Also, in order to minimize extraneous background noise, please keep yourself muted except as needed to participate.
