TARC will be operating as W4A at Lake Lurleen State Park at the Camper Pavilion This Saturday (3/23/2024) from 9AM until Sunday morning. The Camper Pavilion is here. The park closes at sundown, so if you arrive after that, we'll be monitoring the 146.925 (131.8 tone) repeater - give us a call and we'll come let you in the gate. Don't ask us for the gate code - we're not going to compromise the park's security for the sake of convenience.
Bring whatever food and/or beverages you'd like for the duration of your stay, but most importantly, come out and get on the air with us. If you've got a radio or antenna or both that you've been wanting to test, bring it out and we'll give it a shot.
TARC's April 2024 meeting will be at 7 PM at DCH Northport in the Faucett Room on Monday, April 8th.
The National Weather Service is offering several different sessions of their online SKYWARN training (Severe Weather Spotter classes) this spring. See the Birmingham NWS office's SKYWARN page for more information.
