ECRT MEETING IS THIS COMING THURSDAY EVENING

The Emergency Communications Response Team (ECRT) will be meeting at 7pm this coming Thursday evening October 18th.  The ECRT 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 some of the fun run held in Federal Way, as well as many of the Seafair events in the Puget Sound area.  The ECRT meets at Funeral Alternatives Share Life Center.  Lots of parking.  Come join us.

HAMS & EGGS BREAKFAST ON THE CALENDAR

The Federal Way Amateur Radio Club's monthly breakfast, Hams & Eggs, takes place on Saturday October 27th at Old Country Buffet in Federal Way.  Here is your chance to start your day off right with good breakfast and some eyeball-to-eyeball QSO's with other area ham radio operators.  This event is open to the public.  No ham radio license required.  No club membership required.  Just an interest in amateur radio.  Folks start showing up around 8:30am or so, and we can usually be found near the doors of the large conference room.  Come out and join us.  All will be welcomed.  Hope to see you there!

After our Hams & Eggs breakfast, Mark-KG7KAW will be heading up the Mobile Communications Unit (MCU) committee to continue to work on the feasibility study for mobile command post for the FWARC.  All are encouraged to attend both Hams & Eggs and the MCU meeting.

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.
