On the Thursday Nite Net tonite, Doug (KE0SI) reminded us about the Special Event Station that LARC is sponsoring this Saturday August 5th starting at 10:00 AM at Thompson Park, here in Longmont. The event is commemorating the Boulder County Fair and is expected to run from 10 until 5 or 6. All are welcome to join in on the fun of making some HF contacts.

Please contact Doug (KE0SI) for more details…..303-883-2782  or click on his name on the ‘ABOUT LARC’ page to send him an e-mail….

The LARC VHF and UHF repeaters are now operational at their new Justice Center location.  The move took three days to dissassemble, erect new antennas, and re-assemble the repeaters at the new location.  At this time the same components are in use, but a number of items including the controllers will be upgraded over the next few months.  In addition, we hope that some final tuning should further improve performance.  Please give the repeaters a workout and report any problems.

Since I am unable to ker-chunk the repeater today, that tells me that the plan for removing the antennas from the Fire Station has occured as planned. 

The current plan is to now move the repeater(s) to the Justice Center and the target for completion is by End of Day tomorrow.

I will posat any further progess update here as I get them..,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Jerry
