May All Your Wishes Come True!
It could not be better said from our Breakfast Hosts Dee KM6ELE and Mike N6AXQ that this was the best Breakfast gathering ever. The jovial spirit of the CARS members made the event very special and memorable. Just take a look at the pictures below, it can’t be denied this group of Hams were having fun!
December is upon us the last month of 2023 posted below are photos from the Multi-Club picnic, as well as the Veterans Day Parade in Copperopolis. CARS members will again be active in 2024 stay tuned for more action!
One of our long time club members, Ben Autry, K6LHR, passed earlier this week.His grand daughter, Becky Cookson, wanted the membership to know of his memorial service being held on Monday Nov. 27 at 11:00am at the Angels Memorial Chapel, 1071 S. Main St. Angels Camp, CA.I had the pleasure of meeting Ben a few times a the the old Perko’s Coffee shop in Angels Camp before he temporarily moved to Florida. The club used to hold the club breakfasts there until closing and becoming the Calaveras Hospice Thrift Store.For those club members not having known Ben here is an excerpt from his biography on QRZ.
I have been a Ham since the early 50’s when I lived in San Leandro, CA.. Spent several years in the Navy ( 1942-1945) and then another stint in the Naval Air Corp. After some 18 years in the engineering Dept of Southern Pacific RR and another few years as Engineer for a major construction Co. I finally worked for and retired from the City Of Newark, Ca, Moved to Angels Camp, CA and set up a repeater on Fowler Peak which is still operating on `145.170. Club call there is still CARS.
After XYL passed away I Moved to Leesburg, Fl in 2006. I have now moved back to Murphys, Ca.
. Still active on 2 and HF.
Station is rather simple. I run a Kenwood TS 450 into a Mosley 2 element beam. Gives me really good results at only 20 ft. above ground. Gated community rule.
Work 20 and 40 most of the time

Ben must have been one of the founding members to have mentioned help setting up the repeater on Fowler Peak. I am sure fellow members have some great stories to tell ,perhaps at a club meeting.
Sorry to bring sad news on your Happy Thanksgiving Day.
