The event will start at 9AM and end around 12 pm. 

We will meet at the Middle school by 7:30 for final instructions and to allow us to get to our stations prior to the beginning of the race. We’ll also have a conference call Friday 11/14 evening to check in on any questions or changes.

LARC July 2025 ISS Event

Long term service appreciated….

It was my pleasure recently to present Don Lewis (KE0EE) and Pat Engstrom (W1PGE) with a plaque and Lifetime Membership to the Longmont Amateur Radio Club.

Don was the clubs treasure for a lot of years and has been an outstanding member of this club. Don mentors and is always steps in to help where he can.

Pat was the clubs secretary for a long time. His dedication to helping keep the board on track with meetings and getting things accomplished has helped keep this club functional.

Please, when you get a chance congratulate these two fellow hams on their accomplishments and their work for the Longmont Amateur Radio Club!
