Please consider signing up for Amazon Smile. Signing up is easy, it costs you nothing, and the AARC gets a tiny sliver of profit that would otherwise go right into Jeff Bezo's pocket. Step by step instructions here.

Edit (from W2PAW) to add: Please submit your logs for the MDC-QSO party on this page. Thank you!

Greetings from Milford Craig.  He wants you to know the August edition of the Ham Arundel News is ready for viewing or download.  Check it out!  Click on the latest issue of The Ham Arundel News !!!  To read every recent issue, click on all issues of the Ham Arundel News.

We held the August 2nd meeting, and I'm pleased to say we have water once again in the club house.  We still have no word on the water quality, and whether it is safe to drink.  So until that changes, don't drink the water.  However the rest room facilities work, and we are able to have regular gatherings in the club house again.  And for anyone who doesn't know we have bottled water in the fridge that is 100% potable, and pretty good tasting too. 

For those who think "this will never happen to me", think again.  On July 20th, the AARC Generator failed ot start.  This exploded battery was the culprit.  The explosion was most likely caused by rapid overcharging.  We teach how to avoid this in our Technician Classes.  This morning I added this picture to this Fall's lesson plan.
