ECRT MEETING COMING SOON

Our next Emergency Communications Response Team (ECRT) meeting will be at 7pm on the evening of Thursday July 19th.  The Emergency Communications Response Team is the public service aspect of the Federal Way Amateur Radio Club.  The ECRT provides backup radio communications and other support to governmental and civic agencies in the times of emergency or disaster.  Some of the ECRT team members also support other non-emergent public service functions such as the annual Miles for Meso fun run, as well as some of the Seafair events in the Puget Sound area.  The ECRT meets at Funeral Alternative's Share Life Center located at 31919 6th Ave South in Federal Way.

HAMS & HOG DOGS TUESDAY LUNCH

Hams & Hot Dogs lunch continues to be a popular event each Tuesday from 11am to Noon at the Federal Way Costco store.  Another opportunity for area hams to get together to talk shop and feed their face.  Membership with Costco or the FWARC is not required.  You don't even need a ham radio license to attend, just an interest in amateur radio.  Just let the person at the Costco door know that you are just going to get something to eat at the snack bar.
