There will be no Portable Operation SIG on the month of December.
I’ll look forward to seeing everyone in January at the January SIG (Jan 9th), and then on Jan 20th at the Wingfoot Lake Park.
I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday season.
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Tonight’s PCARS meeting is our annual Christmas dinner, open to all PCARS members and their families. Unfortunately, the time frame for reservations has closed. To everyone who did not RSVP, I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I look forward to seeing you at many PCARS events in 2024!
For those who will be in attendance, there will be a short PCARS meeting after dinner, along with the usual PCARS Gift Exchange! Please bring a ten-dollar gift and mark it for a HAM or a NON-HAM. (Non-ham gifts should be gender-neutral.)
If you are bringing children, please bring a special gift for your own children, and mark the child’s name on the gift so we can make sure it gets to him or her.
There will be a table with two baskets, one labeled “HAM” and the other labeled “NON-HAM” with slips of paper in the front of them. Put your gift on the table, pick up a slip of paper, write your callsign, and deposit in the “HAM” basket if you brought a ham gift, or, write your name on it and deposit it in the “NON-HAM” basket if you brought a non-ham gift. PLEASE: do not deposit a slip if you did not bring a gift for the EXCHANGE!
Merry Christmas!

Greetings all!
This is your incoming newsletter editor speaking. Given that January is going to sneak up on us and I’m new at this, I would like to see if we couldn’t get as many inputs as possible for the January Radiogram in by the end of this week (15-Dec). That will give me a chance to collate things and get some seasoned eyes on it as well as avoid the collision with the upcoming holidays that happen to coincide with the normal “Due Date” of the newsletter.
Send those inputs to KC8JC@othertime.com in plain text format. And send in those pictures as well!
Thanks and I appreciate your patience!
