Look for WC8VOA on the weekend of September 23rd-24th as we celebrate the 79th anniversary of the Voice of America Bethany Relay Station located in West Chester, OH. The station is now The National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting, if you’re in the area it’s certainly worth a visit. You will also get a tour of the WC8VOA shack which is located inside the museum.

We plan to operate from 12:00 – 23:59 UTC both days using FT8 and SSB, there even might be some CW.
A digital certificate will be available for anyone who made contact with us during the special event.

The certificates will be available for download starting Monday, September 25th.
Thanks for participating.

Doug Hanson Passes Away

image_pdfimage_print

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.
