N0AVH Club Service Project

On Saturday March 22nd, 2025 the Ark Valley Radio Club (N0AVH) Gino K2KLC and Toby K9TOB completed a service project for the future RM Ham Group site out at the Frick Tower South of Las Animas owned by Tony Hagans K0RPC. While additional brush and trash removal will be necessary all the scrub brush under the entire tower and building entrance was cut down to the ground by hand. Though it was a bit windy the drive was nice. Note to future self…..bring a sharp chainsaw blade next time.

Repeater Coordination Finalized!

The 146.700 repeater is now officially on air and coordinated with the CCARC! Many people have had their hands in this project but this is mostly due to Tony Hagans K0RPC so please be sure to personally give him your thanks. The repeater information is linked above under Club Info. Also here. 73!
