WCARC is located in Williamson County Texas. We are a group of individuals interested in all aspects of ham radio. 

Even though we are still stuck in Zoom mode, and the club meeting on October 1 will be on Zoom (there will be information on how to log in on the Reflector), there is some news, some good, some not, and some which may be good or bad depending on your perspective.

First the good news: Cycle 25 has begun, or at least that what CNN reports. That means that propagation will get better as we go along. Of course, that means that generally propagation will get better, but not necessarily on the day you would like to work India with QRP power levels.

Then the bad news: The proposed Ham Fest at the circle driveway at the home of Leonor KF5YTZand Cliff WB5DYA has been cancelled. Too bad!

And the maybe good, maybe bad news: Nominations for new officers will be taken at the October 1st Zoom meeting. Any member in good standing can serve as on officer of WCARC, so if you have a desire to serve as an officer – no pay, but you will have your 15 minutes of fame (or perhaps only 15 seconds) – please be sure to speak up at the meeting. You can nominate yourself if you would like to do so, so don’t be shy. The club won’t function unless it has officers. Keep those antennas shined up and get on the air!
