Several members supported the McClinchy Mile event held on April 30th. Included were Rick KG7PMV, Larry KG7DRP, Richard KY7YRS, Pat KK7KCZ, John K9JEB, Don KG7UAE, Bill N7TCX and Lee KJ7LTT.

The Annual SCARC Swap meet is now over. Many reports of happy vendors and treasure seekers! Great turn-out. Parking lot overflowing! Raffle prizes were popular as well.

Next up: Field Day! Set-up will be at Arrowhead Ranch on Camano Island on June 24th. Volunteers needed for set-up on Friday, operating Saturday and take-down Sunday. More details soon.

Operating: LOTS of FT8 activity on all the HF bands. 20 meters has been wide open, even late at night! 6 meter activity is also growing.

Coming soon: The annual US Islands QSO Party is Aug 26th. Be sure to mark you calendars. The Club placed FIRST last year - thanks to the efforts of many club members out roving and activating islands. Plan now to participate. Planning to do this year's contest a bit differently with each rover team activating only one or two islanda giving them a more relaxed pace and hopefully a chance to make more contacts.

For more details, please our Calendar page.

The purposes of this club are:
