HIGH ALTITUDE BALLOON FLIGHT COMPLETED

On Saturday August 31st 2019, we were finally able to get a break in the weather and a fair path prediction to allow us to launch our 1500 gram latex weather balloon with a four pound payload from the soccer fields out in Enumclaw, WA.  Our payload contained two APRS trackers and three Go-Pro type action cameras.  Our flight package also included a 72 inch fluorescent pink & green parachute and a home made radar reflector.  Click here to visit our balloon page.

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 is now a requirement, but not with the FWARC.  You don't need a ham radio license to attend, just an interest in amateur radio.  If you are not a Costco member, let the ID checkers know that you are going to the pharmacy or have an eye appointment.
