Club Update and Information

Club Update !

Hello everyone, as we discussed at the June meeting I am thinking of working towards getting the club to official affiliated club status with the ARRL. With that and other steps we can obtain a club call sign for use on Field Day and Special Events ( like Little Balkins Days perhaps ). One of the requirements is to submit a club roster. I do not want to assume everyone wants to be included on that list so if you WOULD like to be counted as an official member please email your answers to sekarc.net@gmail.com to the questions below..

Q#1 - Would you like your call and name to included on a roster for SEKARC

Q#2 - Would you be ok with your call sign listed on the sekarc.net website under a "Roster" tab ?

As before, none of this requires any monetary input or expense. We are keeping it simple, but with some appearance of organization! With the ARRL affiliation there are a few more requirements like officers and a "charter" but we can talk about this and more at the next meeting on July 27, 9am at Hardee's.

I look forward to your responses and only if you reply with a YES to question #1 will you be on the list. I will not add anyone just by default.. it is an "Opt In" process !

73's everyone !
