4/3 Meeting & License Test at the church are canceled

Our Friday, April 3rd meeting and amateur radio license test session at the church have been canceled due to COVID-19 concerns. We hope to reschedule the presentation on attic antennas for a later date. Please note the May 1st meeting has a high likelihood of cancelation as well. 

Instead of a face-to-face meeting, PAARC will have a First Friday Repeater Net with Ed, K3BVQ as Net Control. Repeater info: 147.21 / 147.81 MHz  PL 131.8

The board meeting scheduled for 3/20 is also in flux. We will either move it online or postpone it to a later date. 

PAARC is doing what we can to keep our community safe. Thank you for your understanding.
