Meeting agenda for July 14th is in the members section
FCC to charge $35 for your license
FCC soon to require your email address
The FCC will soon begin charging $35 for all initial, renewal, and vanity HAM licenses. Strangely they completely discounted the value of HAM radio in emergency communications saying that HAM's were not required to use their radios solely for emergency communications and so it was a voluntary thing that didn't support maintaining the fee free license.
You can read the FCC's report and order FCC 20-184 HERE to see just how they value HAM radio.
ALSO, the FCC is currently "encouraging" HAM's to provide an email address and will soon be requiring an email address to be submitted for receiving official correspondence. I'm not sure how this is going to work for those HAM's who don't have email for one reason or another. One of our own members lives off the grid with no internet available.

FIRES ANNOUNCEMENT
All Club members have been accounted for AND ARE SAFE after the recent fires in our area. Three homes, affecting FOUR members, were destroyed in the fire but folks got out safely.
If you have been affected by the fire, please let us know. We're HAM's, our hobby is known for helping each other. That doesn't apply just to putting up antennae.
The Almeda fire has destroyed hundreds of homes and our club members were not unscathed. While some merely had to endure the threat of evacuating, others had to leave their homes, a few have lost their homes.
