August - 2026

Meeting Minutes, Notes, and Other News:

    The new Kerchunker format strives to have everyone read the minutes so I have embedded them in a window below to make that very easy.  If you prefer to download them or see older versions please visit the Meetings Page.  The remainder of the newsletter highlights things that are not included in them.  Those may include items like links to some of our digital presentations, current events, etc.  I also want to encourage members to send me links, articles, and information that may be of interest.  To avoid spammers I ask that you contact me (Webmaster, BCARC) through the form on the Contact Us page, let me know what you have, and I will return an email address if necessary.


Editorial:

    We had a light crowd on a stormy August evening according to the minutes.  I cut class myself this month as there was a torrential rain with lightning bolts between my QTH and Robertsdale at my normal departure time.  That said, I am sure there were informative updates on club business and we also got some great reports from the VE teams, repeater trustees, and other members involved in various activities.

    Ken Bell - K4EES attended the Alabama ARRL Section meeting at the Huntsville Hamfest and posted some interesting developments on our N4MZ Facebook page affecting the Alabama section.  He sent them to me in an email as well.  I am posting his message here as I think you will find them important and I know many of us aren't frequent FB visitors.  Click Here to view the pdf file.

    There are a few members that I still don't have email addresses for, so if you see your name isn't listed on the Contact Us page dropdown list please fill out the contact update form.  Good things are happening at the club and our growth is a result of them.  I hope to see you all next month!
