Our September meeting will be on the 11th at Our Savior Lutheran Church 3700 West Broadway in the shelter house beginning at 8:30am. Meeting date changed due to the Labor Day holiday. Hamfest will be a major topic at our meeting. We currently have over 40 tables reserved as of this post with several more inquiries. Also on the agenda will be the SET exercise. We have a lot to discuss on these topics so we want everybody’s input. Hope to see as many members as possible there. 73’s

Copied from WAARCI’s Facebook Page.  RIP WE0G

It is with great sadness that I need to report the passing of a well known ham in this area and beyond,
Keith (Harold) Haye, WE0G has become a silent key.

Keith was a life member of the club and was active until he became too ill to do so. Any time we had an event, a meeting, a net, a special event, Keith could be counted on to be involved. He especially loved contesting and working with new hams, and he had a knack for getting people to talk to him on the air.

More details will come later. Keith had been sick for some time and had taken a couple of bad falls, but today we have heard that he lost his fight. I will miss hearing his voice on our repeater and all of his stories. Keith is going to be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
