Good morning everyone, if someone would like to step up and be a net control for the Tuesday night net that would really be appreciated. Unfortunately, I will be starting a Bible study at our church on Tuesday nights and will not be able to call the net at this time. The Bible study is during that time. I will be glad to help out if there’s any weeks that we are not there and I am available. Anyone can be a net control. It is not hard at all, so if you would like to do the net on Tuesday night just let us know and we’ll be glad to get you on board. It is a great net. And only last about 15 to 20 minutes. Of course, we would like to get a lot more people participating and if it lasts an hour, that would be great too. Anyway, hope everyone has a great week and please consider being a neck control for the net. It is a great opportunity and good experience. 73 from Tim. K5TEL

According to the National Weather?Service's latest update, we should?all be seeing snow?outside right now.? Here in Clearfield County this should be adding up to between 1 to 2 inches depending on your elevation.? And then the sleet will start followed by some rain and finally?some really cold temperatures?with wind early next week.? Check out the attached forcast file from the NWS.? Sounds like a great time! Stay safe and keep an ear tuned into the 147.255 repeater for anyone with weather updates or requesting information.
Thank you \ John N3SPW

CCARC Members.... Our first "radio night" was held last night and I'd have to say that everyone who attended enjoyed?themselves.? It wasn't standing room only, but with 8 of us in the radio room it was packed!? ?We fired up the Icom IC-7300 and?under the guidance of Lars KB3WBT installed some software on Ed KC3ZAL's laptop and watched the FT8 radio signals coming in.? Yes, some stations even from far away lands like Africa!? Unfortunately?the antenna seemed to have a SWR issue so we couldn't make contact. but I think everyone there learned something about FT8 and is now interested in learning more about FT8.? A huge thank you to Lars who made the radio night what it was!??
If you missed the first one... well you missed something?special.??The next radio night will?be in March .... 2nd Thursday of the month at 7 PM.? Hope to see everyone there.

Some exciting news for everyone today.?

Not only will this fix the issue of the aging Kenwood UHF/VHF radio that doesn't hold its programming anymore, but it will add DMR capability to the EMA radio room.? So hopefully sometime soon these new?radios will be available for use at the Clearfield?EMA?radio room.??
I recommend the 578UV III Plus.? It is a bit more versatile than the Pro version.

That is great news. It is always great to have the county and 911 have confidence that an amateur group like ours is trusted enough for them to help us gear up to help them in an emergency.?
Great job guys.
