TRARC Activities for December 2025
Members,
As Fall is bringing the cold weather, the Club has the following activities planned for November.
Saturday, November 8th is the Club’s Hams and Eggs Breakfast. It will be held at the Butlers Golf Course Rock Run Inn, 800 Rock Run Road, Elizabeth 15037 starting at 9:30 am. Please join us for a great breakfast and great company.
Tuesday, November 11th will be our next Club board meeting at 7pm via Zoom. Jim Bricker N3JHB will issue an email to the board members concerning the agenda and the Zoom log-in.
Thursday, November 13th will be our operations night beginning at 7pm at the Lincoln Borough VFD 184 Social Hall, 4312 Liberty Way, Elizabeth 15037. We use the Club call W3OC which allows Technician and General Class operators to operate on all bands (Extra Class operators will be there to assist). If you or someone you know wants to learn more about operations, please come out and we will help.
Monday, November 17th Holiday QSL Raffle Tickets: The Holiday QSL Raffle winning number will be drawn Monday evening at 7 pm based on the Pa Lottery 3-digit number. To all who have sold and bought tickets: Thank You! If you have ticket stubs, please bring the stubs and money to Ops Night or the Hams and Eggs Breakfast. I will be at both events to collect the ticket stubs and money. If you have any unsold tickets, I will need to collect them prior to the drawing. I will get in touch with folks who have tickets.
Tuesday, November 18th will be our next Club meeting at 7pm at the Blaine Hill VFD Main Hall, 409 Oxford Ave, Elizabeth, PA 15037. The major subject will be the Club Christmas Party planning and the preliminary results of the PA QSO Party.
