HAMS & EGGS BREAKFAST ALTERNATIVE

CANCELLED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS CONCERNS

We will have "Coffee On The Repeater" this coming Saturday.
Please join us on the 147.040 Mhz repeater starting at 9am.

The Federal Way Amateur Radio Club's monthly breakfast, Hams & Eggs, usually takes place on the  Fourth Saturday of the Month at Old Country Buffet in Federal Way.  Old Country Buffet is currently closed due to the CV19 concerns.  We will resume our monthly breakfasts once we get back to normal.

As an alternative, we will continue with Coffee on the Repeater as a place holder until we can resume with Hams & Eggs.  Coffee on the Repeater takes place on the same 4th Saturday of the Month on the club's 147.040 repeater.  It is a round table net, talking about what we got going on in the radio shack, or what we are doing to keep busy during the CV19 stay at home order.  Please feel free to join us on September 26th at 9am on the 147.040 repeater.

HAMS & HOG DOGS TUESDAY LUNCH

CANCELLED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS CONCERNS

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.
