The Cherokee Capital Amateur Radio Society announces the winner of its $500 Wal-Mart shopping card give away. Jennifer Jones of Calhoun (C) is presented the card by club President, James Howard (R) and club Treasurer, Felton Floyd (L). The club wishes to thank the community for its support in this fund raiser and hopes that you will support us in the future.
    Proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward the purchase and upgrade of Amateur Radio communications equipment for use by the club and area Amateur Radio Operators. The club works with the local Emergency Management Agency to provide supplemental communications when called upon during times of crisis. Members of the club gather weather information during times of inclement weather and forward this information to the National Weather Service office in Peachtree City by way of Amateur Radio. Forecasters can then better issue watches and warnings using the information provided. Article is from the Calhoun Times

GARS also Shows off at Science night

Members of the Gwinnett Amateur Radio Society (GARS) were invited to be a part of Science Night at Berkeley Lake Elementary School on Thursday evening, October 23. The event was a huge success, with a total of 747 youngsters and parents in attendance. With demonstrations on such things as CW, Echolink, Youth in Radio, ARES, an HF station, an ARRL booth for answering questions and providing follow-up materials, and that ever-popular attraction: the laser pointer demonstration, where students are shown that they can actually talk over a simple Radio Shack laser pointer, the evening was fun-filled for club members and students alike. And as a plus, many of the parents expressed a keen interest in learning more about the hobby.
