News:

Tech Net: Kerry N0WIQ has started an open forum net to discuss the technologies that touch most facets of our lives. From soldering to building projects, from high tech to low tech. Tuesday evenings 7:00 PM local, 145.115 repeater (Jul-29-2004).

An Amateur Radio Technician License Course was held by the Loveland Repeater Association and the Northern Colorado Amateur Radio Club, April 13 through June 15, 2004. Thanks to leaders Rob Strieby W0HDD and Steve Henry N7GN.

Alan Silverstein N0MFW has a Columbia Point page.

Mark Baker KG0PA's presentation at the NCARC Aug-17-2002 club meeting about Defending the Future Ham Radio inspired Steve Henry N7GN to write this useful email to the NCARC email list. Please read it and help us.

Our previous ISP, Info2000, was apparently sold to Mindspring (EarthLink), so this NCARC website abruptly moved here. I suggest listing our website as http://www.qsl.net/ncarc (Sep-22-2001).

The http://www.qsl.net/ncarc page now quickly points to this NCARC page (Apr-20-2001).

The good news on Larimer County and Amateur Radio Tower Status, Jan-9-2000.

NCARC now has an Email Reflector.

Severe Weather will return. The ARES Colorado District 10 page has some useful weather links and online ARES training.
