Interested in Amateur "ham" Radio? The lake area has an active ham club and you're invited to join! The next meeting will be Saturday, December 13 in the meeting room at the Mabank Cafe. The meeting begins promptly at 9 a.m. but many members come early for the breakfast buffet at 8 a.m.
December's meeting features an optional ham radio white elephant gift exchange ($10 or less).
The club will also welcome the 15 new hams that just graduated from the November ham course.
About the Club:
Formed in 1981, the Cedar Creek ARC has over forty members from the tri-county area. It maintains a VHF repeater system that provides hand-held radio coverage to hams in the lake area, and mobile and base coverage throughout the three counties. CCARC participates in the National Weather Service SKYWARN program and the Amateur Radio Emergency Service. The club meets the second Saturday of each month, and also provides classes to those wishing to join the ranks of Amateur "ham" Radio. For more information, visit www.k5ccl.org.
