We will meet at the Anderson E.O.C. in downtown Anderson which is located on the corner of Church and Tower at 7:30pm please be a little early as we have to lock the door after the meeting has started. But if you have a 2 meter mobile or hand held call on 146.970- and someone will let you in if you are late. |

At last months meeting the club voted to purchase a brand new repeater for the 146.79 and should be installed by or before June. This is a welcome announcement as we have had some issues with the old machine as of late. |
