Presentation: Town Hall meeting hosted by the ARC president
Description: 
On July 4, 2024, the Atlanta Radio Club held its monthly meeting via Zoom.  Due to the meeting coinciding with Independence Day, we expected a low turnout and opted for a town hall format without a presentation.
The meeting was run by Bill Perkins, KB4KFT, the ARC President.
Bill started off talking about upcoming ARC events:
•Friday Lunches
•License Testing at PDK
•13 Colonies Special Event Station
•Railroad Rendezvous Special Event Station in Kennesaw

Then he moved on to club news:
•The yearly ARC election is coming up in August
•We’re looking for a new site for our repeater. Its time on the Bank Tower is limited
•ARC in-person meetings resume in August

General Discussion followed.

There were few questions.

​
As far as our meetings go, this one was a short one.
 
The recording of that meeting starts now...


ARC members requested this presentation as part of our ongoing series of requested presentations.

WORKED ALL GEORGIA AWARD

The Atlanta Radio Club, with the support of the Georgia Section of the ARRL, is proud to support the "Worked All Georgia" Award. The WAG Award is open to radio amateurs who can provide proof of two-way radio amateur radio contact with all 159 counties in the state of Georgia. This award is nice complement to the annual Georgia QSO Party, which in fact would be a good time to work on some of those hard-to-get counties. The award is embodied in a nice certificate.
More information can be found here.

CLUB HISTORY

The Atlanta Radio Club (ARC) was founded in March 1911. It is believed to be the longest continually operating non-university club in Georgia (Georgia Tech was founded earlier). With over 100 members, ARC activities include meetings, operating events, training sessions, membership outings, and community service activities in Metro-Atlanta.

​The ARC helps operate the Atlanta Hamfestival and owns, operates or supports 11 repeaters around the metro area.  In an average month, the club will hold a regular membership meeting, a tech/training session or operating outing, publish the Atlanta Ham newsletter, have 8 lunch outings and host over 20 nets via club repeaters.

In 2010, Dallas Jones (VK3DJ) from Drysdale, Victoria in Australia visited the United States to meet some friends he met on the air. "During his travels, he visited the Atlanta Radio Club and from all accounts had a great time with the guys."
