There is no work planned for Sunday March 31. Have a great Easter.

THANK YOU to everyone who helped out over the past few days. We got an amazing amount of work done, with everyone helping to make it happen! 

I will be providing a summary of work done, the few outstanding items for the VHF and North towers and continue planning for the South and EME towers. 

If you have any suggestions for improving our next work party, including safety, please send them to stationteam@caraham.org 

If you would like to participate in the next work party, keep up to date on club station activities, improvements, repairs and maintenance, please join the station team email list by sending an email to stationteam+subscribe@caraham.org

=============================================================

To take better advantage of the long weekend, we will be starting on Friday March 29 and continuing on Saturday March 30. 

Weather permitting, we have 4 potential member man-lift operator/electricians and climbers but need member helpers for club station, tower and antenna repairs, who will help prepare materials on the ground and pass them to the man-lift operators and climbers. 

Also looking for a safety person, to keep an eye on all repair activities. 

We will be removing antennas from the VHF tower, moving some to the North 100 ft. tower and repairing other tower antennas, especially those that cannot be reached by climbing the towers. 

There are also wire antennas to build, beam to assemble, coax and rotor cables to prepare and pull and other projects around the station.

Please bring a hardhat, high visibility vest, work gloves and wear construction boots, if you have them.  A few hardhats and work gloves are available at the station.

If we don't get everything done on Friday March 29, we will continue on Saturday March 30  from 8 am till 8 pm.  We are not planning to work on Sunday but will still have the man-lift until picked up on Monday.  

Please register for this event on the CARA webpage at https://caraham.org/event-5661897 with your available days, times and skills  and email ve6cid@me.com with a  copy to stationteam@caraham,org

Look forward to seeing you there!
