The KARC communications Unit “AVCOM” (pictured below at Field Day 2011) has enjoyed indoor storage in space provided by the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport to the Kalamazoo County Office of Emergency Management for a several years now. While the unit was, for a long time, the only equipment of its type in the area, that is no longer the case. We have been asked to remove it by the end of this month to make room for OEM equipment (letter below). Several alternatives are being investigated. AVCOM will continue to be available not only for Public Service events but as always, Emergency Communications when needed. 
The Board will meet on Wednesday, April 11, 2012 at the Kalamazoo Chapter of the American Red Cross, 5640 Venture Ct. in Kalamazoo. The meeting is open to all members.
Our colleagues over at the Southwest Michigan Amateur Radio Team are sponsoring a day trip to the Dayton Hamvention again this year. The trip departs from the Meijer store at 5121 S. Westnedge Ave in Portage EARLY on May 19th (Saturday). The bus will also stop in Battle Creek at the Lakeview Mall at the Southwest end near Sears to pick up those who find that spot more convenient!
