For all of the CW operators there is a new CW net. The CW net is on 6m at 50.099. It is being held every Monday evening at 7:30PM. The net controll station is Mark K6JJR in Auburn. The net will run at the speed of the slowest operator. Even for new CW operators listing to a net is good practice for improving your CW copy ability.

For the second year in row the EDCARC has decorated a Christmas Tree that is displayed along Highway 50 in Placerville. Our tree started out on the corner of Spring Street and Highway 50 but a clerical error forced us to move to just East of the parking garage behind Placerville Hardware. The weather was great and we had a good time decorating the tree for the club. The crew was Phil KK6YYD, Sue KM6ILP, Jeremy W6TKD his wife Ursula and daughter Julieta and Jay KE6GLA and Nancy KG6PNP. We used the AF6SA light flasher again so after Thanksgiving you should see the tree sending AG6AU.
