HAMS & EGGS BREAKFAST

The club's monthly breakfast, Hams & Eggs, is scheduled to take place on Saturday August 26th at Old Country Buffet in Federal Way.  Here is your chance to start you day off right with a good breakfast and some eyeball-to-eyeball QSO's with other ham radio operators from around the area.  This event is open to the public.  No ham radio license required.  No club membership required.  Just an interest in amateur radio.  Folks start showing up around 8:30am and we can usually be found near the milk machine.  Hope to see you there!

ROUTE 66 ON-THE-AIR SPECIAL EVENT

The 18th annual Route 66 On-The-Air special event takes place from September 9th through 17th, 2017. Originally started by the Northern Arizona DX Association, it allows amateur radio operators a fun way to “Relive the Ride”, and possibly relive their own memories of Route 66, and celebrate the highway’s 2248 miles of rich history. The Citrus Belt Amateur Radio Club (CBARC) in San Bernardino, CA now organizes the event that has grown into one of the best special amateur radio events each year. Various amateur radio clubs using special 1×1 call signs W6A through W6U operate from cities on or near Route 66. Route 66 runs from Santa Monica, CA to Chicago, IL.

The Pacific Northwest VHF/UHF Society's 23rd annual conference is scheduled to take place the weekend of October 13th & 14th in Moses Lake, WA.  The conference includes the society's annual meeting, guest speakers with topics dealing with VHF/UHF and microwave operations, a catered lunch, and prize drawings.  For more details on the upcoming conference, click on the banner above.
