New Club Server

Well after about 1 week of waiting and working with Olypen and Cablespeed to get their DNS servers pointing to the right place, the PLARC web site is now being hosted with a new (old to me) company.

Our actual web server is located in Chicago. This company offers better performance, features and especially better service as compared to where we were. Just as an example, our new host transferred all of our information from the old site to the new site for me. A real time saver!!!!

So if you are ever interested in hosting your own web site and would like a quality company to work with let me know and I will give you all the details!

Got My Radio

A while ago I caught one of our newest Club members doing a fun little jig in her living room with my phone camera in video mode. Kathleen, being a good sport only objected slightly at lunch about having it on the web (yea right, with our rowdy bunch!). So after you view the video, be sure you let her know how much you appreciate her sportsmanship and sense of humor! Click here for the video link.

Salt Water as our next energy source?

Purely by accident an Erie man ignited salt water. More info click here.

2007 Tailgate'r a Success!

June 16th marked the second 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.
