Club news

K6PAC/R to be
on the air soon

We now have a key to the closet at the Lincoln Arts building. Very soon we will be putting together a work party to rearrange stuff in the closet and move the repeater rack into the building. Some research needs to be done on routing the antenna cable from the mast to the repeater closet. We are getting very close to getting our repeater on the air.
