• The CCARS ARRL FIELD DAY station KB4CC was set up June 26-27 at the new Camden County Emergency Operations Center on Lee Street in Kingsland. Unlike previous years there was no bugs, heat, or humidity to deal with (once the antennas were up) but several very strong thunder storms took a big bite out of operating time. Still, there was excellent food and a good time was had by all who participated, with many lessons learned for next year!
• Our VE Team continues to do an outstanding job conducting amateur radio testing sessions each month. Congrats to our new hams and to our dedicated VE team.
• The CAMDEN Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) group wants you! Enjoy the hobby while providing a valuable service to the community. Check out their website at ares.camdencounty-ga.com And don't forget to check out the ARES Net on Tuesdays at 2000 (147.195MHz+ 118.8Hz)
• Some very handy links to electronic calculators and antenna analysis software have been added to the Links Page! Take a moment to scan the list!

  • Calling all Rovers! - 2010 is packed with VHF/UHF contests and one of the best ways to enjoy them is by activating grid squares while mobile! Better be ready to work a pileup of stations!
  • Plans are underway to set up a Special Event Station at the Okeefanokee National Wildlife Refuge in October as part of National Wildlife Refuge Week. Stay tuned for details!
