WARC will conduct an ARRL Kids' Day at Northside Methodist Academy (NMA) on June 18th, times TBA.

Please mark your calendars & let me know ASAP if you can participate
onsite or offsite responding to calls.

Initial plans are for 1 HF station, 1 VHF station on local repeater and a
Morse Code practice area. I would like to have at least 2-3 licensed
operators to help out.

This should be good exposure for our Club as well as attracting youth (&
their parents) to our hobby & Club.

For those who may not know yet, Matt Johnson, N5MTJ is working diligently
to start a Amateur Radio Club at NMA. I encourage us all to support his
efforts as fully as possible. This is a great beginning in the Dothan
area.

The Annual WARC Field Day will be held this year at the Town Square in Headland. We'd like to invite everyone to come out, join us, and get on the air. We'll be operating 24 hours again this year and will have 2 stations set up to operate from.

Look forward to seeing everyone there!

On the weekend of May 7th - May 9th, Amateurs from around the area are getting together for a camping trip at FDR Campground in Pine Mountain Georgia. We'll be setting up a couple stations to operate for fun as well as hiking up the mountain for a little QRP. If you'd like to participate we'd love to have you along. If you're not interested in operating but just want to come along for a relaxing weekend of camping thats great too! Just drop me a line at MYCALL at ARRL.NET and we'll add you to the roster.

Everyone is welcome!
