– September Club Meeting
The Kent County Amateur Radio Club held its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 8th at 7pm at the Kent County 911 Center in Dover. Members gathered to review ongoing club matters and participate in several discussions.
During the meeting, Mark, N3ZFO, joined via Zoom to talk through updates to the new member application process, focusing on ways to keep it clear and accessible for prospective operators. The club also reviewed options for replacing the 2M/440 antenna, including whether the work should be completed by the club or contracted out, along with consideration of the Baycomm quotation for the Comet tri‑band 144/440/1.2 GHz antenna.
Steven, KC3DSO, our ARRL Section Manager, was scheduled to present on the ARRL Logbook of the World (LoTW); however, due to time constraints, the presentation has been rescheduled for next month’s meeting.
