The February issue of the MARC Newsletter is now available. Click here to download. Thanks again to our editor Bill, K4BX for his work putting this together.
Our January Club Breakfast will be held Saturday, January 28th at Farmers Family Restaurant in Columbia. We will meet around 8AM. Please join us for some good food and fellowship.
We are in the process of moving our website to a new hosting provider, as well as upgrading and refreshing the look. Most all links should still go to their respective pages. It will take some time to move over all of the posts and newsletters. If you see anything that looks unusual or broken, please contact Joe, N4JW (you can use our new contact form). Thanks for your patience while we make these upgrades.

I first met Finis Allen when I was a wide eyed teenager hanging around K4UXK Clyde Denton’s shack. Finis was a very friendly, mountain of a man that seemed to be around 6’ 2″ tall. He traveled around with his constant companion K9DOG, and the dog was very friendly too. He was a soft spoken man with a very distinct Slow Southern Drawl. Finis was always willing to help out, and I even remember him donning a Santa Suit one year to play Santa for the children at our Church. I always enjoyed listening to Finis and Clyde discussing the Finer points of Ham Radio equipment and credit these gentlemen for peaking my interest in Ham Radio.
