Watts Up This Week
Hey SFARC Members and Friends,
Better late than not at all. 🙂 Coming up this weekend, we’ve got the club breakfast on Saturday @ 0730. A reminder that this month’s breakfast will be at Wings again at the Auburn airport (Auburn Municipal Airport,13595 New Airport Rd, Auburn, CA).
After breakfast, we’ll be taking to the streets of Auburn for another fox hunt. The fox transmitter will be powered up at 9:30 AM by fox tender Brian (AI6US). Don’t miss this one!!! Check out the flyer here: https://www.w6ek.org/files/docs/Event-Flyers/foxhunt_august2023_rv02.pdf
Have a great weekend everyone.
