More local news, this time Amateur Radio, (HAM), related.) : "The Kanawha Amateur Radio Club will be celebrating our 75th anniversary this year. The date of the actual event is still being discussed but is being planned for some time between November 1st and the end of the year. Probably the first Friday of the month.

Tentative plans are for a covered dish dinner at Trinity Lutheran Church, 1600 Kanawha Blvd in Charleston (our usual meeting location) depending on availability. Spouses and family members are invited.

Please email any comments on the celebration, date preference or other issues, to Terry Sanner, WV8V, President of KARC at terry.sanner@frontier.com.

Our drought continues, and it looks like Hurricane Debby is not going to leave any leftover rain, here. If, I'm not mistaken, we are still under State Of Emergency due to this drought. A big stream pool here went dry for the 1st time since September 2019. So, I guess that we can't burn anything outside, for a while. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?textField1=38.3760126&textField2=-81.5928929 Chances of rain, but all hit, or miss. More news, later, especially about this weekend on Real Free Radio, AM610 / AM1620, and Auxiliary Station 49.870MHz FM. (Get that one on any scanner radio.)
