The Club's New Meeting Times Saturdays Beginning May 8th, 1:00 PM Club Meetings Have Been Moved To Saturdays! The members of the Jefferson County Radio Amateur Club have come to the determination that Saturday afternoons are more enjoyable than Monday evenings. Therefore, by decree of the membership present, it has been proposed that all regular business meetings be scheduled to occur on certain days and hours that are conducive to safe driving, outdoor activities (like eating and horseshoe throwing), and feeling like you didn't just get off of work. Be forewarned! Good fortune such as this will not go over-looked and under-used. Come one, come all to this extravaganza of fun and wonder. An Open House to the public to spin a dial and talk to the world with Ham Radio. No license required. Operators are standing by to entertain dreams you had never realized before. Groups by reservation; Schools, Scouts or Special Interest. Camp-outs, classes, exam sessions, tutoring and workshops. Remember, the new schedule for the use of the Jefferson County Amateur Radio Complex takes place on the second Saturday of every month without freezing weather (May - November) starting at 10 am going until we drop (usually with marshmallows). Campfires in the evenings will coincide with stargazing sessions. Come on by and ask for the Grand Tour, You'll be glad you came.

JCRAC To Receive A New Club Logo
The
Visual Arts Department at Jefferson / Lewis BOCES will be taking us on
as a client in the development of a logo that will reflect the club's
purpose and mission. The process will take several months as it has now
been given to a class as a learning experience. It will be intended
to represent us on the side of any club owned equipment such as an E.R.V. (Emergency Response
Vehicle), the clubhouse, as well as on other signs and literature such as this website.
Many
Events Throughout The Year
Need Ham Radio
Support Take a look at our new calendar. Look for signup tools that you can use to get involved in events that you would like to help out with. Here is a sampling of some of the things we do here in the North Country. The Winona Forest Recreation Association hosts 4 events. They consist of 2 cross country ski events and 2 dog sled races. All are held over 4 separate weekends from January through until March. You don't have to be a licensed operator to help out since they have a commercial repeater and radios that we can use. There is plenty to do and as always these are spectator sports so even if you don't wish to volunteer, come and watch. These events can be very exciting. The schedule can be found here. To signup, contact the club at activities@kc2elx.net. WPBS will be hosting several volunteer events in the coming year. But for just a moment, Let us please keep in mind how gracious a host WPBS has been to CAN-AMERA in providing the facilities for such a great repeater, the 147.255. Please say thank you to WPBS by volunteering for one or more of the events in this coming year. WPBS maintains an online link and schedule that makes signup a breeze. And let's not forget the Black River Stages in October. Where in the world is Alverson, NY? View Larger Map
