The new location worked out extremely well for the last meeting. It has lots of room and other features that will accommodate our growing club well.
Owensboro Amateur Radio Club meeting for July is next week!!! We will be meeting Tuesday 7/18 in our new location at the Owensboro Technical and Community College (OTCC) Downtown Campus at 1501 Frederica Street in rooms 18A & B. The club meeting will start at the normal time, 7PM, with the ARES meeting at 6:30pm. Best parking is in the back of the OTCC building, accessible from West 15th Street or Daviess Street (across from Steinkamp lumber yard).
At the July meeting, we’ll have a Field Day wrap-up, then a tailgate swapfest in the parking lot. Dust off your old gear to sell, raid the piggybank for some folding money, and come out for a fun evening! You do not have to be a club member to come to meetings, or to sell/buy gear at the July swapfest!
BIG NEWS!! ( Reported by David Patton)
The Owensboro Amateur Radio Club has a new meeting location!
Starting in July, OARC will meet at the Owensboro Technical and Community College (OTCC) Downtown Campus at 1501 Frederica Street. While the club will continue to use the Red Cross building for VE testing and other events, we have outgrown the Red Cross meeting room, and needed a bigger space. The OTCC classrooms provide plenty of room for activities, plus excellent Audio/Video capabilities and internet access!
Please help get the word out that our July 18th meeting will be at the OTCC downtown campus, in rooms 18A & B. The club meeting will start at the normal time, 7PM, with the ARES meeting at 6:30pm. Best parking is in the back of the OTCC building, accessable from West 15th Steet or Daviess Street (across from Steinkamp lumber yard).

Finally, a shout-out and huge thank you to Charles Hughes, AA4CH, for making all the arrangements for the club to meet at OTCC.
Our new meeting site is shown below!
Field Day is coming up this weekend! It will be held at Panther Creek and will run from Saturday at 1 PM to Sunday at 1 PM. We can use help with the following–setting up Saturday morning and with logging and operating the radios any time during the event. All are welcome!
There will be a picnic at the end of the day Saturday at around 6. Hamburgers and hotdogs will be provided by the club. Bring a dish if you can. Sounds like a fun day!
We are missing the many posts that I’d made over the past several months. This is a mystery. Did they restore the site from a very old backup? Don’t know!
