TRARC Activities for September 2025
Members,
As Summer is rapidly disappearing in the rear-view mirror, the Club has the following activities planned for September.
Monday, September 8th 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.
Tuesday, September 9th will be our next VE session at the McKeesport High School at 6:30 pm. Please contact Mike Kowalcheck, KV3L for more information.
Thursday, September 11th 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.
Saturday, September 13th 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, September 16th will be our next Club meeting at 7pm at the Blaine Hill VFD Main Hall, 409 Oxford Ave, Elizabeth, PA 15037. IT IS ELECTION NIGHT! PLEASE TRY TO ATTEND IN PERSON OR VIA ZOOM FOR THIS IMPORTANT MEETING. If you are interested in running for office, please let us know.
For the Good of the Club: A complete list of activities is listed on our website at https://trarc.org/events-calendar/
Keith Pederson WA3HAE has a tower, rotor (the brake is broken), and a KLM KT34A beam that he would like to give to someone in the Club. You would have to take it down and remove it yourself. If anyone is interested, please let me know and I will arrange it with Keith and set up a work party to remove the equipment.
I still have Holiday QSL raffle tickets to sell. These are $20 each to win $2500. The tickets go off on November 17th based on the 7pm PA Lottery 3 digit number (no wild card). Please let me know if you would like tickets to sell or purchase.
