December DEARS Monthly Meeting

Mickey Mouse as Steamboat Willie

With COVID-19 on the rise we will not be having an in-person gathering this December. Instead, we will be getting on the air as a club! On Wednesday December 9th at 6pm we will have a Holiday net!

For those who would like to, we will be on 40 meters around 7.225 MHz LSB. We will also use the 147.300 FM repeater. Echolink will hopefully be up for those who wish to talk in on that. Andy will be operating from the shack as WD4WDW acting as a holiday net control for HF. If you’re interested in being net control for VHF please let Andy know. On the net share what you do for the holidays and maybe get some ideas for ways to celebrate with your family.

This should be a great way to finish out the year on the air. Feel free to share this event as well.

Happy Holidays!

Andy, Ian, Steve and Paul
