* ACØRL is inviting the club membership to use the ham shack. The club was instrumental in the construction of the shack, and ACØRL feels it is a club resource. There are many contests coming up and ACØRL desires for the membership to benefit fro use of the shack. ACØRL will publish a list of events that he will be available to open the shack. If there is an event you wish to operate in, please notify ACØRL. ACØRL is ready to have the new beam antenna mounted on the new tower. This will be beam #2, a real pileup buster. He will put out a message as to when the beam party will occur.
