PCARS Monthly Meeting – Monday, April 12th

Posted on April 9, 2021 by KD8MQ
We’re just three days away from our April meeting! Join us Monday, April 12th at American Legion Post 496 on Mogadore Rd in Kent, or by Zoom. The meeting starts at 7:00 PM sharp!
Jeff Covelli, WA8SAJ will present his emergency backup power solution. Spring often brings nasty weather along with power outages so this is a good time to learn about a system you might want to add to your shack.
Join Zoom Meeting:
DON’T FORGET! Purchase your 50/50 tickets on the PCARS Website – you don’t have to be present to win – everyone is eligible. Just look for the PAYPAL Button marked 50/50 tickets.

We just learned that Bob Hewett K8FEY had a stroke and his prognosis is not too great.
 
He is now at:

We’re told that he can see one visitor at a time.
 
I’m sure that thoughts, prayers, and notes are appreciated. it would be great if people send Get Well Cards or a Get Well QSL Card to Bob. He would really appreciate that.
