The next TARC auction has been scheduled for February 10, 2024. Doors will open at 8 AM and the auction will start at 9 AM. Lunch will be provided by the Salvation Army, donations appreciated. For more information, please check the auction page.
CARS, it is with sadness that I pass along this information we received yesterday:
My name Is Len Hanson, I grew up going up to Fowler peak working on the 145.170 repeater with my Dad Doug Hanson WB6MFV.
Later, after his father passed, he took his fathers call sign W7IRJ.
I am sad to report that my father passed away yesterday in Roseburg, OR.
I felt it was important to write to this club and let them know.
If you are active on Allstar, DMR or Echolink, you might be interested in a project I’ve been working on. I have put up an analog to digital bridge on a hub node:
Allstar Node 48909
Brandmeister Talk Group 3104925
and Echolink node NV6V-L (232055)
are all linked together.
Feel free to connect to any of these any time you like. The hub node is not connected to the CARS repeater, but I plan to be connected (through my Allstar node at home) to the hub during tonight’s CARS repeater net. Also, I will play Amateur Radio News through the hub around 7:00 (before the CARS net) and ARRL News after the net.
More Info:
73 de NV6V
QRZ SJV;
Playing catch-up. I’m very much behind. Please send me contact
information if you are holding an ARRL SJV cabinet position.
As we move into fire season, stay informed and pass on this info to Greg
KJ6OUI, our Public Relations Coordinator. Also any Public Service
participation relayed to Dan, WL7COO and Ed KF6FIR.
All Club Officers should be on file with Charles W6DPD.
Remember to support “The Amateur Radio Parity Act”. Go to the link
on the ARRL website http://www.arrl.org/amateur-radio-parity-act . We
have to continue the support for this legislation. It is a foot in the

Hello All;
I’m putting this together to finish reporting 2017 and to get 2018 off
to a good start. Remember to support our new Director in the Pacific
Division. I believe we will not miss a beat as Jim moves forward.
There are some new things coming from ARRL concerning ARES and Public

have experienced and we should continue.
February report is being edited as I speak and will be up to date.

Well, what a year for 2017!
With a little well timed illness, computer failures and family events,
it seemed that I was continually trying to catch up. For all of you
that helped and otherwise stepped to the plate – Thank you.
Pacificon was very enlightening. ARRL appears to be relishing the
recognition and acceptance for assisting in mitigating the hurricane,
tornado, wildfire and recovery still ongoing. I am also seeing an
introspective response to the lack of cohesive training that is
currently being addressed. Please participate and continue with the
current reporting system.
I hope your Holidays were family committed and you are looking toward a
new year.
Remember to support “The Amateur Radio Parity Act”. Go to the link
