75th Anniversary 🎂
Brian KJ7OX brings to our attention that this year, 2023, is the 75th anniversary of the Lower Columbia Amateur Radio Association (founded 1948).
If you have ideas for how to mark and celebrate this anniversary, please bring them to the LCARA Business meeting this Wednesday, or reply to this email and let me know.
Clubhouse Internet
Last week, LCARA switched internet providers for the clubhouse. The connection should be noticably faster and more reliable now. The wifi network name and password have not changed.
Please report any issues you experience with the internet at the clubhouse to Glen N7UIG or Masen KF7HVM
Note: remote access to the clubhouse radio(s) is currently not operable due to technical issues that we are in the process of working out. Remote access should be restored in March 2023, please reply to this email if you are a remote radio user and want more information.
