Roane County Amateur Radio Club
Uniting The World Through Amateur Radio
Hello Everyone!!
I hope everyone is doing well. The April 2020 RCARC meeting has been
cancelled due to the Corona Virus and hoping to not have folks exposing
others during this time of National Emergency. The Community Center most
likely will be closed as well. We hope to see everyone in May 14th 2020 at
7:00 PM in the Rockwood Community Center, 710 North Chamberlain Ave.
Rockwood TN.
C-ya! Jim K4APY
Hello Everyone!!
I hope everyone is doing well. The next RCARC meeting will be on March 12th at 7:00pm in The Rockwood Community Center 710 North Chamberlain Ave. Rockwood, TN. 37854. This meeting will be SKYWARN Training and Jeremy Buckles from The National Weather Service office in Morristown TN. Will be our guest and instructor. Plan to stay about 2 hours. Training starts at 7 PM. Bring a folding chair if you can. Sometimes seats are short at the Rockwood Community Center. Better to have one in the car than stand if we run out of seats. Bring a Friend and come on down! I hope to see you there

Hello Everyone!
I’m running ahead for a change with the newsletter. I want to remind everyone that our next Roane County Amateur Radio Club Meeting is Februaryy 13th, 2020 at The Rockwood Community Center, 710 North Chamberlain Ave. Rockwood, TN. 37854 at 7:00 PM. Lee has arranged for Dave Karasko, a TVA Engineer with line interference for this area ! He will be talking about how they search, find, and prepare to reduce or fix that problem. Along with him will be Heath Lewis of HUB. Try to make it to this one if you can. It should be good and relevent to all Hams since power line noise is common to all of us.
Most folks have already renewed, but we are still accepting memberships and renewals for 2020 for Roane County Amateur Radio Club. Help Support our club by joining and participating if you can!
