Dues R Due
It's October again. The leaves are starting to turn and the old rake is coming out of retirement for another season. Mother Nature is signaling that your Club dues are due. The Club's fiscal year runs from October 1 thru the end of September each year. And as such each member dues need to be paid. This year, as last year the dues are $35.00. If you need a form please use the standard application form available >>here<< and send it along with your check to the Club's PO box.You may also use the form to order Club badges. Members who's dues are not paid by Nov. 1, will be removed from the roster.
Port Ludlow Tower
Well, the end of an era is approaching. As many of you know the Port Ludlow radio tower is coming down. The Club has been working with the EOC and the LMC trying to broker an arrangement where the tower could stay as a community resource. Time was not on our side. We were unsuccessful in our endeavor and we were given November 1 as a drop dead date where the Club's equipment must be off the tower. We were able to comply and accomplished the removal on Wed. October 15th.
To see some pictures of the Club's effort back in 1998 to remove the old Summit Cable junk and install the Club's repeater antenna click here.
UPDATE: 80 feet of the old tower is once again back in duty. After being inspected the tower is freestanding with over 9 cu yds of concrete holding it upright. Supporting the old Sheriff's antenna the tower now provides the 443.425 (103.5 tone) with a new home. Pretty awesome!
Here are a couple of pictures from its new home.
Why yes that is the original base.

2011 Tailgate'r a Success!
This June marked the third annual Port Ludlow Amateur Radio Club old fashion tailgate 'r swap meet. Dan Withers WM7W coordination efforts did not go un-noticed. This year we had more sellers and more buyers coming from further away! One guest praised the Club (actually Dan) on what a great job was done promoting the event. He was so impressed he was going to suggest to his club that they do something similar!
WR7V took some pictures of the event. To see them click here.
