SARTS monthly meeting Feb 2021

Our February 2021 monthly meeting was held via Zoom. James, 9V1YC, emphasized again that SARTS has a drop in members and that we need member contributions helping to keep the club active and growing.

Roland, 9V1RT, gave a short status report about our repeater. Klaus, 9V1KG, updated on the latest developments of the website.

Haoyan, 9V1HY presented about our SARTS QSL buro. As a member you can send and receive QSL cards free of charge via the buro.
