NEXT CLUB MEETING:
November 14th, 2019 At our last club meeting... We had two guest speakers at our October club meeting, Mark Holt-W7EAZ and Mike McCoy-N7VWD. Mark talked about Narrow Band Emergency Messaging Software (NBEMS), and what equipment is needed to make it all work. Most of the equipment you probably already have, including a HF radio, sound card interface, and a computer. Mark also gave a demonstration on what some of the various digital modes look like on the waterfall display and what they sound like on the speaker. Mike gave an overview of our recent high altitude balloon flight that took place on Labor Day weekend. The presentation included pictures take by those folks that attended our launch, and video from the three cameras that were onboard during the two hour flight.

HAMS & HOG DOGS TUESDAY LUNCH
Hams & Hot Dogs lunch continues to be a popular event each Tuesday from 11am to Noon at the Federal Way Costco store. Another opportunity for area hams to get together to talk shop and feed their face. Membership with Costco is now a requirement, but not with the FWARC. You don't need a ham radio license to attend, just an interest in amateur radio. If you are not a Costco member, let the ID checkers know that you are going to the pharmacy or have an eye appointment.
