MARC is a busy place right now!
Friday's Meeting
This week's meeting will be a review of everyone's favorite portable ops antennas. Bring along your favorite to show to the club.
Skywarn
MARC was well-represented at the local SKYWARN Training-Session!
Over 20 MARC Members attended the National Weather Service's Skywarn Training event at Jackson High School this evening! We learned how vital amateur radio is to the NWS network of communications and reporting, as well as vital information concerning observation and safety.
To top it off we met several enthusiastic attendees who expressed interest in attending this week's MARC meeting on Friday.
Communications Center
The “Shack Committee” was specifically and officially established by the officers & trustees of MARC in 2024 to operate as an “ad hoc” organizational committee. Its scope was to take on the task of researching, constructing & completing a fully operational, amateur radio communications center for the enjoyment of all MARC members and guests.
The committee will remain intact until the project is seen to completion. Upon ultimate completion, the operational committee will return the finished project over to the membership at large. It will then be the responsibility of the current MARC Officers and Trustees to formulate the operational structure of its access and usage. However, it is the current thought of the Officers and Trustees that a permanent committee will be designated to oversee the daily operations, maintenance and care of this new communications center.
We expect that all or some of the current “Shack Committee” will have the opportunity to continue to remain as ultimate caretakers of our wonderful facility! This committee will be officially formulated as the project is completed.
I am most excited that Scott Mc Camish (N3JJT) has agreed to step-up to oversee this process to the end. His knowledge, experience and insight are a perfect match to finally have some closure to this very long and overdue (sometimes overwhelming) process.
