The club decided to start using the GATOR AMATEUR RADIO SOCIETY (GARS) for nets. The present name is too long for a net control. So the Southwest Louisiana Amateur Repeater Club (SWLARC) will use a dba of GARS for nets.
FIELD DAY will be here the 27th and 28th. Again we will meet at Pinederosa Park in Westlake. Setup will start at 1300 on the 26th with Field Day starting at 1300 on the 27th until 1300 on the 28th.
Contact Logan if you have questions or wish to volunteer. Be at the club meeting on the 23rd and hear what Logan and Sam have in store for us.
