Note: There is a change of location for our June KARC meeting. The Club meeting will start promptly at 7 p.m. We’ll meet at the pavilion in Flesher Field on 9-th Street, south of the intersection with Stadium Dr.

This month Charles Agosti (WD8AXA) will talk about and demonstrate “Contact with Military Satellites”. Dave Moss (KE8DI) will talk about our Field Day prep. The last part of the meeting will move to our new Field Day site behind the Oshtemo Fire Station on West Main Street (M-49) west of 11-th Street.

This month John Mathieson (AC8JW) will talk about the Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) node he implemented in the KARC Radio Room for W8VY.

If you are attending Hamvention in Xenia, OH on May 18-20, be sure to look for other members of KARC. Charles Agosti (WD8AXA) has a spot in the Flea Market, stop by and say hello. Take a look at what he’s offering for sale. Perhaps he has something you need or want.

Anyone want to organize a talk frequency for our Hamvention travelers? Contact a Club Officer.
