Thanks to all that made the W9DUA Field Day event a success. 
A special thanks to KB9RW, Br. Stephen for providing access to such a wonderful location for field day.

A highlight of the event was 3 young men who stopped by to visit after having traveled to the Chicago area to pass their technician test. As they were preparing to end their visit a mother brought her son, a scout, who is interested in ham radio.  He returned for Monday open hours with more questions.

Attendees must make and pay the $16.00 per person for their reservation no later than Friday, March 10.

You may pay online, by mail or in person at the February 2 or March 2 meetings.

Due to ongoing efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus, SVRC board will discuss canceling/moving online further meetings/open hours/classes/exams until further notice. This will be discussed at our board meeting March 18th which will be held via WebEx. 

The scheduled meetings of the "on-air" GENERAL and EXTRA license classes have been concluded.  We are currently waiting to see how the Covid-19 plays out to determine future license testing dates.  Watch this space.

The Sangamon Valley Radio Club is relocating our meetings to St. John's Hospital. 

We are proud to announce we have aquired the Athens 147.045+ repeater from the K9MCE Club and WS9V. This will remain linked to the Central Illinois Linked System as we are great partners with the K9MCE and AD9OV clubs that are also part of the system. We greatly appreciate WS9V and his many years keeping this system on the air.
