The regularly scheduled monthly meeting of the Frederick Amateur Radio Club will be held on Monday April 15th at the Independent Hose Company #1 310 Baughmans Lane (near Rosemont Ave.) in Frederick, MD starting at 7:00 PM local time. You do not need to be a member or a licensed amateur radio operator to attend, you are welcome to come and check us out. If you’re interested in getting your amateur radio license we can offer pointers on the process and have several members who received their first license within the last year. For anyone who is already a licensed amateur and needs talk in assistance a few members of the club typically monitor the club repeater at 146.640 MHz (negative offset, PL tone 156.7 Hz) prior to the meeting.
Expected topics of discussion for the upcoming meeting include two upcoming public service events, the March of Dimes walk in Frederick on Sunday April 28th and the Hike Across Maryland on Saturday May 4th, as well as plans for Field Day 2013 scheduled for June 22nd and 23rd.
