Our next club meeting on June 4th, 2019, will focus on Field Day. We have exciting plans in store, including a new location—with air conditioning—and great opportunities to get on the air. Get ready, and join us for our next meeting!
There’s one notable contest this weekend, the CQ WW WPX Contest, CW weekend. What’s this? It’s a CW contest where countries count for more points, but callsign prefixes are multipliers. If you’d like to be part of a new and different “country,” possibly a rare one, then this contest is for you.

Saturday’s DARC SkyNet is at 9PM CT.
Discussion topic of the evening
Saying “Goodbye to Miss Carolyn (KC5OZT) and a discussion of her favorite astronomy group “American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO)”
Miss Carolyn KC5OZT
https://w5fc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/kc5ozt-e1546835398991.jpg
Tonight’s topic will be about one of her favorite organizations, the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO).
The DARC Lecture and lab is coming up, and it’s going to be a fun one: we’ll be focusing on Anderson Power Poles, and there will be lots of easy, useful projects to build. Let us know which ones you’re interested in!
There aren’t too many contests this weekend, but there’s a QSO party in Arkansas, as well as a Straight-Key Century Club Sprintathon.
Normally, I’d wait to give this announcement until Tech Net…but by then, the event will be over. If you’d like to participate in a unique exercise that promotes both amateur radio and national defense readiness, there’s an event for you!
From the Army Mars website:
The Army Military Auxiliary Radio System (MARS) will host this year’s Armed Forces Day (AFD) Crossband Test on Saturday May 11, 2019. This annual event is open to all licensed amateur radio operators. For more than 50 years, military and amateur stations have taken part in this event, which is only an exercise scenario, designed to include hobbyist and government radio operators alike.
It is with great sadness that the DARC shares with you that Carolyn Womack, KC5OZT, went silent key Sunday morning, May 05, 2019, after a battle with cancer. Carolyn was longtime member of the DARC and very active in DARC nets and ARRL NTS – as a past Section Manager and active participant. (See below for details on her service).
