Join PAARC members on Friday, Dec. 6, 2019 at 7:00 pm for a pleasant evening with a discussion of callsigns and what your callsign means to you. This is an informal meeting without a presenter, but with an open mic. Here the the types of things you may choose to speak about: your name and call, when you were first licensed and your call then, what class of license you now have, what phonetics you use, who was your first contact, what strange or best looking QSL Card did you ever receive, and what mode of transmission do you prefer.
The 2020 Board was nominated at the Nov. meeting and since there were only single members nominated for each office, we will have a meet and greet of the new board. Holiday refreshments will be served. We meet at St. James Lutheran Church, 93 Kugler Rd., Limerick, PA.
An Amateur Radio license exam will take place at 5:00 pm prior to the meeting. Visit the License Exam webpage for details on how to sign up.

At the 1/5/18 meeting we had a delightful presentation by Richard “Dick” Stewart/K3ITH on his private railroad car and some of his charters. Many hams know Dick as a fellow Rooster, and for his work with PARA (Phila. Area Repeater Assoc.). Given that many hams are train buffs we had a strong turnout of members despite the freezing weather. Dick bought the Francis L. Sutter Pennsylvania RR car two years ago and he and his XYL Cathy have been their own custom touches. This Amtrak certified 1914 Pullman heavyweight business car includes a lounge with originally installed working wood burning fire place, bedrooms, dining room, and full kitchen. It may be connected to almost any Amtrak passenger train and travel up to 110 MPH in the U.S. and Canada. Dick and his family have enjoyed trips all over the country. He also offers charter trips!
