April Edition!
If you want to see what it takes to make a repeater work, come on out to a work day. We have a new antenna for GMRS to go up at the Monticello repeater. This is part of where club dues go, for maintaining our repeaters so they can be the best they can be for everyone that uses them.
Want to build something, make it to hands-on. We are currently working on a 10m j-pole antenna. I personally watched a video on how well this works. I was quite impressed. The great thing is any Tech can use 10 meters on 28.3 to 28.5
It is amazing what you can do with some coax, ladder line, wire, and a connector.
McCreary Gravel Rally is coming soon! April 25th and 26th is the rally. LCARA will be providing communication for the 26th. A lot of time and effort has gone into perfecting and improving communication between race stages and HQ, so Charlie Charlie can give the final approval. Communication is key for safety and nothing is done without final approval. There is a lot of work that goes into making this a successful event. If you are available on the 26th, volunteers are needed.

It's not too early to start thinking about the upcoming ARRL Field Day in June. Lets make this one the best one yet!
