are interested in any feedback you

KY4ARC was formed in
February 2006. Like most clubs it
has seen its membership fluctuate
over the years. When the hobby
first went to the "no code tech"
licensing system in the early
‘90's there was a drastic increase
in the number of folks entering
the hobby. For a while, the
numbers have dwindled - we think
in large part due to the
widespread use of cell phones and
other communication devices.
However, recently, we now see a
renewed interest in the hobby with
the move away from Morse Code
altogether.
Our current membership is
17, as of 20160507.
KY4ARC owns and maintains a
repeater which operates on
frequency 147.225 Mcs. with a
positive offset and a 127.3 cps
tone. Located, Paintsville,
Kentucky. This repeater is part of
the Eastern Kentucky Repeater
Linked System. You can see the
listing at http://www.qsl.net/ekrn/.
EchoLink node number 321424
operates on this system under
KY4ARC call (KY4ARC-R). For info
go to http://www.echolink.org/.
The
Repeater System has a CAT
WX-200 Digital Weather
Receiver Monitoring the
National Weather Service for
alerts and warnings,
Amber alerts, and Civil
Emergencies.
