Ham Cram 2024 is now history. On the Weekend of 3/23-24 a review/testing session at the American Legion site here in Wenatchee resulted in 6 more Techs and a General added to our Ham Radio Operator list.
Our 6 new Techs plus a friend.
The picture on the right is a shot of the classroom as instruction is being given, showing the layout of the facility blessed with an overhead projector. Refreshments were provided for the duration of the event. More photos in the GALLERY on the left "HamCram 24"

A very special Silent Key benefactor must be sadly acknowledged.
Joe Stevens WN7N
of Leavenworth passed away March 21st, 2024
It was Joe Stevens who, upon specific directions that it be kept confidential, is the generous man who donated our new Club trailer to ACARC a while ago.
Joe was a past Air Force Veteran missile Electronics Technician, and then, up to his passing, was an ardent Ham Radio hobbyist.
The Club will be installing a new plaque on the trailer, naming him as the donor and honoring his generosity.

Thanks to Jim N7JA who forwarded the
SDR information below from the ChelanARC.
It is offered to all of us to investigate and maybe get involved with. Looks like interesting stuff.

ACARC, PO Box 5283, Wenatchee WA 98807 or bring it to our monthly meeting.
Donna N7IIS and Duane KI7RJT, famously from the very active business loop of beautiful downtown Dryden heading into our monthly membership meeting.
We are all SO GRATEFUL that they volunteered to round up our "refreshments" for the Saturday get-togethers thus relieving our busy Secretary Doug K7DEG from this added responsibility.
THANKS again, Donna and Duane.
Don't forget...
Weekly Thursday Tech Talk Night
on our club 2 meter frequency at 2000.
JIM, N7JA and others monitor sessions wherein club members can discuss anything of technical interest to them and other Hams, and they will be able to chime in with comments and questions. Please feel free to join in, everyone welcome or just listen.
2m Wednesday SSB NET
has started.
The below info from Jim N7JA tells all about what is next.
Join in!!!
One of the most regular and well-attended events that ACARC sponsors is our Tuesday night Net Check-ins. Just to give you an idea of the activity this year, see the spreadsheet below. A greater number of people are involved here than in our Club Meetings - or just about anything else we do.
Weekly updates are especially important during these times of change and instantaneous re-arrangement.
You are welcome to join in our net formally, just go to the NET CHECK IN tab to the left, or perhaps just feel free to listen in to the announcements on Tuesdays at 8:00 pm - if nothing else just so you can keep up to speed on events happening - or not happening - or dates changing.
GUESTS are ALWAYS welcome.
