About LCARC

 

The Lewis-Clark Amateur Radio Club is located in the beautiful Lewis-Clark Valley, the gateway to Hells Canyon, spanning the borders of Idaho and Washington. Our club is generally comprised of residents of Lewiston, Idaho, Clarkston, Washington, and the surrounding area. The valley offers many outdoor opportunities for residents and visitors alike.

Lewiston and Clarkston border the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater rivers. Surrounding the valley are lush farmed rolling hills, many historic landmarks, scenic opportunities unique to the northwest, and lots of friendly folks that just enjoy the great outdoors.

The valley offers many outdoor opportunities for residents and visitors alike. One of the primary industies and tourist attractions is the vast jetboat manufacturing and jetboat river tours through Hells Canyon, a popular destination for those visiting the northwest. In additon to jetboating, the Lewis-Clark Valley is prime real estate for hunting, fishing, whitewater rafting, sailing, swimming, camping, and hiking.

The Lewis-Clark Amateur Radio Club is active in community interest programs and community emergency communication services. We have an active involvement in community relations and provide a vital link in emergency communications in the valley through the ARES sector of our club. We encourage membership from all areas and look forward to promoting Amateur Radio.

Ham Happenings

Issue: August 2010

CQ From the President

QST QST QST

Hello from the Vice President’s desk. This up coming month is sure to bring excitement with a small planned event. While some have been working stations while camping others have just been trying to stay cool.

Whichever you prefer why not come join us on a mountain top in Joseph, Oregon, on August 20th and possibly 21st for a mini DXpedition. If you would be interested in going please call me, or get in touch with our event coordinator Emmett McCormick NA7EM.

Also you won’t want to miss the next meeting, Emmett is going to start a set of monthly meetings about Fox Hunting and building a 2 meter antenna for this application.

If you have any new projects or pictures that you would like to share at an up coming meeting please get in touch with one of the club officers. We would love to see what everyone has been up to this summer.

If any of the new hams are in need of some antenna work now is the season. Don’t be afraid to ask…that’s what belonging to a club is all about (FAMILY). One ham spoke up (KF7IXN Tim McConnell), this last month and we were able to help him get on the air.

Hope everyone is having a great and safe summer!

Vice President—KE7WOE, Ray Ulery
