____ Begin last minute one time update re Winter Field Day event —————–

TARC leadership has been keeping a close eye on forecasts for winter field day this weekend. We had hoped the forecast would improve, but alas this winter has been relentless. We have made the decision to cancel TARC’s participation in Winter Field Day. Some forecasts call for frigid cold, and others call for even worse. Indeed, most forecasts put the temperature below the manufacturer specified operating temperature of the radios. Please do not go to our planned winter field day event. You are more than welcome to operate on your own for winter field day, but the club is no longer participating.

Thanks to everyone who helped us plan for winter field day and offer equipment or time. Although it wasn’t in the cards this year, the club still intends to make winter field day a regular event in the years to come.

We are excited to see you at our February 19th meeting where Duncan Lu will present on homebrewed antennas.

–— Notes about the January meeting: —

For tonight’s exclusively virtual meeting we will be discussing winter field day plans. Winter field day is just around the corner – Jan 24th/25th. The website has details regarding the rules of the event (https://winterfieldday.org/). It should be an exciting discussion of how we want to participate as a club.

I’ll see you all at our google meet link!
