On July 20th Sugarloaf Forest Fire Lookout Ranger and Ham WA7KJ Ken Jones was the lucky (?) recipient of another visit by reps from ACARC. In this entourage were Club President Sal KA7ZDL, Jim K7MQV, and Rich K7RBC. Almost immediately upon our arrival at the 5800' tower, Ken gifted the three of us Challenge Coins for souvenirs.

After a review of all the votes and comments regarding the modernization of our Club LOGO, the results are in. The most popular design was #6, and there were 3 others in a tie for #2. They were #1, #7, and #10 - each had 4 votes. During our October meeting the results will be made official and the winning logo will be announced formally and the prize awarded. An in-depth review of all the many comments will affect the winning logo's final design, as they were all pretty good and made excellent suggestions.
Out of all the 31 formal votes submitted, the below Logo was voted the most popular, getting 9 of the votes, almost a third of the total. This entry was submitted by Val Skorpion, the daughter of KJ7MJU Debby and sister of KI7KDE Derek Knutson and is just one of many of her well-done entries.
The excellent runners-up in this contest. Nice job.

Club Dues for 2021
No increase this year, $15 plus only $6 for each additional family member.
Mail your check to:
ACARC, PO Box 5283, Wenatchee WA 98807
One of the most regular and well-attended events that ACARC sponsors is our Tuesday night Net Check-ins. Just to give you an idea of the activity this year, see the spreadsheet below. A greater number of people are involved here than in our Club Meetings - or just about anything else we do.
Weekly updates are especially important during these times of change and instantaneous re-arrangement.
You are welcome to join in the Net formally, or perhaps just listen in to the announcements on Tuesdays at 8:00 pm - if nothing else just so you can keep up to speed on events happening - or not happening - or dates changing.
GUESTS are ALWAYS welcome.
