With the low number of operators, discussion was short. Everett WA3DVO noted that his Post 275 TALARC Club N3TAL, which has operated from within the post for many years, now has a specific set-aside area in the basement of the post for a working station. Members are pulling things together at this time. Everett also mentioned that, as part of the “decorations” for the walls of their new shack, he intends to solicit other TALARC clubs listed on the club website [38+] for a QSL card from their club. Johnny K7ZZQ reported that the Mesquite, Ariz., Veterans Center will host this year’s Field Day operations for the MOAPA Radio Club. Field Day this year is June 22-23, and operations will be on 20 and 40 meters. Johnny will notify TALARC INDY if and when they designate specific frequencies and other modes of communication.
The TALARC FMCA-ARC EchoLink Net for April closed at 1235 EDT [1635Z].
