I just wanted to post some meeting reminders and also an upcoming event:
1. Monthly TAARA club meeting is Thursday, January 20, 7:30 PM at the Beaver County 911 Center classroom in Ambridge; Zoom availability for those who are unable to attend.
2. TAARA VE team meeting, Saturday, January 15, 10:30 AM at the Beaver County 911 Center classroom in Ambridge; all club VE's, and anyone interested in becoming a VE and/ or wishing to help is welcome to attend.
3. Our 2022 club roster is growing every day, but if you haven't yet paid your 2022 dues, now is the time to get them to AA3WV, Mike; he'll give you a brand new 2022 membership card for your dollars!
4. Here is our first event of the year, courtesy of Dennis, KC3EJA and Matt, N3NWV! They have rented a cabin at Raccoon Creek State Park, and will be doing a combined POTA activation and Winter Field Day operation, the weekend of January 28-30. They have graciously invited all club members to stop out during this event and join them in operating, observing, eating, visiting, and just having a good old ham radio time! Come on out and have some fun and ham radio fellowship. Thanks again to Matt and Dennis for setting this up and including all of us!
For anyone that has not yet re-registered for our ARES program in Beaver County and would like to, or any of our new folks that would like to be part of the program, please send me an email and I'll be very happy to send you a registration form. As most of you know, we're in the process of rebuilding our EmComm and Skywarn programs in the County, and Frank, N3TN, Sean, K3UKE and myself along with our staffs will be very proactive with training and education, especially with the bi-annual evaluated exercise coming up in June at the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station, and of course, severe weather season which is not too far down the road.
As always, I thank you all for your support and look forward to seeing you soon!!
73 and have a good week!
