February SAARC Meeting
The next SAARC meeting will be on Tuesday February 21. The meeting will be held in room 106 at Petoskey High School. The meeting starts at 7:30 pm. This month we will be making QSL cards. We will have all the computers set up for you to design your own card. If you have a favorite picture or image that you would like to put on the card you can bring it along or look on the internet and find one that you want to use. If you are feeling to computer savvy, I have some pre-made cards will a nice copy of the SAARC logo on them. All we have to do is fill in your call and address. I will be saving all the cards on disk and will have them printed and cut to size. They will be available at the March meeting for you to pick up at the incredible price of zero dollars and zero cents. Here are a couple examples of cards I have made for myself.

SAARC VEC Exam Dates
Jack KC8VXI is currently holding a class for people interested in obtaining their Technician Class Amateur Radio license. He has five students in the class who will hopefully be taking their test in March. If you know of anyone that would like to get their license or anyone who would like to upgrade to a higher license, let us know and we will see if we can generate enough interest to start another class. In the meantime, hit the books and come out to one of our upcoming test sessions:
March 4 - April 1 - June 3 - July 8* -October 7 - December 2
All sessions are located at the Red Cross Building and scheduled times are 10:00AM.
