RFARC Meeting & Information
The RFARC will hold its next full meeting on January 29, 2022 from 16:30 until 17:00 CST in the Innovation Lab in Building 431.
This meeting is open to all Raytheon Employees, Contractors, and On-site personnel holding an unescorted level security access badge. One does not have to be an FCC Licensed Amateur Radio Operator (Ham) to attend. If you are licensed and attending, please wear your Callsign Badge in addition to your security badge so those wishing to ask “Whats it all about” will know who to speak with.
RFARC By-Laws were approved by the membership so we are officially the Raytheon Forest Amateur Radio Club https://www.rfarc.net/by-laws This will allow us to get officially recognized by the Company and have a resource number assigned to RFARC.
According to the now approved By-Laws, Club Meeting are generally not for the use of Club Business with only the few exceptions of nominating officers and voting on items that require a membership vote. If Club Members have business to bring before the Board, Officers, or Club, they need to be brought to the attention of the current Club Secretary or one of the serving Club Officers via email or in writing.
The Club Two Meter Repeater (for the time being) is the Forest KF5SEB 145.240 minus with SqTone 100.0/100.0. Special thanks to Don N5SPL for allowing RFARC to use his repeater as often as Licensed Club Members want or need to. In Don’s words, “That what it is there for, to be used”. Thanks again, Don!
Those wishing to test to become FCC Licensed Amateur Radio Operators or upgrade their current license can attend the second Saturday testing secession in Byrum. VE Test sessions are held on the second Saturday of the month at 1pm, at the Crossroads of Life Church, 6775 South Siwell Road in Byram, MS. Please contact Brian, W5SSJ, at 601-741-0873 for more information. He does prefer a text message. Additional details always available on the CMSARA website.
