We are now in the new year of 2021 and are looking for a better year than last year. Covid is still with us and may be for some time, but we will survive.We hope that many licensed members will get out their radios and join with us on Wednesday evenings at 19:30 on 146.640 pl tone 100.
The year 2020 is now behind us and it has been a year of trials with Covid 19 as the interrupter for the year. We had our first meeting on January 6th in the EMS Building in Monroe and shortly after Covid 19 came into play. We had 2 meetings early in the year and then social distancing became the everyday thing to do. We were able to use video and phone and radio to communicate with each other, but it was not the same. We had one live meeting get together in the Monroe Park where about a dozen of us met and had a meal together. Thanks to Dean KB7JBL and others for that opportunity.
Thanks for our 2020 presidency and their sticking with us in a very trying year.
The Sevier Amateur Radio Club "Open Shack" held a successful meeting the 14th of September 2019 at the Mountain View Park, located on 220 South 300 West here in Monroe. There was demonstration on a variety of "preparedness / self reliance" items. There was HF Radio set-up and antenna configuration training, Amateur Radio licensing questions answered, C.E.R.T. introduction, a "fox hunt", Sevier County Sheriff's "communication trailer" on display, preparedness displays and training, that included everything from solar energy, water filtration, fire starting, and outdoor cooking. Lunch was served from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. with a delicious assortment of "potluck" dishes to go along with the chicken supplied by the club. In attendance were 25 adults that signed in as well as other children and adults who didn't sign in. If you were unable to make this one we look forward to seeing you next time.
