Indoor Work Party February 28, 2026
Looking for a little help this Saturday, February 28, 2026 from 9AM to 1PM. There are a number of small projects to get handled on the big task list for the year and we could use some help. We are planning to get started on scanning pictures and old documents for preservation before storing them. Inventory of all club property needs completed. Tool chest needs organized and moved along with the back room cleaned out prior to upcoming server equipment installation. Any and all help is appreciated and hope to see you there.
February Meeting Location Change
Even though the driveway to the club is clear, the parking lot is another issue with limited parking available. Therefore the February 2026 business meeting is being moved to the following location:
St. John Lutheran Church, 601 Washington Ave. Carnegie, PA 15106
WA3VXJ was able to secure us a nice size room with a very adeqately sized parking lot. Many thanks to Karl for getting us a centrally local point to use. Meeting will be at the usual time at 7PM. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Winter Field Day Canceled
Due to the impending winter storm, we are canceling Winter Field Day at the clubhouse. We do not want to place any member in harm’s way during this weather event. The double digit snowfall prediction makes traveling too dangerous and uncessary to be out on the roads. Thank you to everyone who signed up for the event. There will be many more contests to come this year for us to enjoy! Everyone stay safe and if any member is in need of assistance during this storm, please reach out to us.
