The Northern Vermont Winter Hamfest is in less than two weeks! We hope to see you all there at the Milton High School on U.S. Route 7 on Saturday, 23 February, 2008, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Download the flier or see the official Milton Hamfest page for lots more info.
Thanks to the weather, CVARC’s February meeting (originally scheduled for tonight) is canceled.
March’s meeting is still scheduled for Wednesday, March 5th. We hope to see you there!
The February 6th meeting of CVARC will be held at the Steak House restaurant on the Barre-Montpelier Road (U.S. route 302).
A group of members and friends will gather for dinner at 5:30 p.m., then our acting president, Jo Messer KB1EPT, will rap the gavel at 6:30 p.m. calling the session to order.
The Steak House is on the Barre-Montpelier Road (1239 U.S. Route 302), somewhat south of Radio Shack, next door to Kentucky Fried Chicken.
As you approach the front door of the Steak House, the CVARC meeting room is behind the windows on your right. Upon entering the main dining room, bear right to the “up” ramp. Walk up the ramp into our private dining room and join your CVARC friends for excellent food, friendship, and our meeting.
We’ve just published February’s issue of QFQ Report. Download from our QFQ page and read it now!
I’ve recently learned that Ken Blair KB1GPQ has resigned as president of CVARC. Many, many thanks, Ken, for all of the work you’ve done over the years for CVARC, especially most recently as president. We wish you all the best in your endeavors, and hope to see you “down the log.”
With Ken’s resignation, CVARC vice president Josette Messer has agreed to take on the mantle of acting president until this April’s annual business meeting. Thank you, Jo!
I’ve just added a new page entitled “Previous programs & events.” With any luck (and a little perspiration), we’ll be able to provide descriptions (and photos) of many of CVARC’s excellent monthly presentations, programs, Field Days, and get-togethers.
Anyone who would like to help with this project is encouraged to write to me at

Tom Long KB1NGQ accompanied CVARC repeater technician Allen Wilde N1IOE up Mt. Pleasant this morning and got the machine turned happily back on. Thanks to both for their work this morning, and thanks to all who have been patiently waiting for the past 12 days. And — most important — we’d like to offer our sincere appreciation to Allen Wilde N1IOE for use of his repeater in Barre during this period.
Anyone with articles or other material for February’s QFQ should get them to me by Friday, January 25th. We’re going to try to get QFQ out on the 30th this month.
Many thanks!
I have added “Author” accounts for all CVARC officers. Let me know if you haven’t received an e-mail from me with your new username and password.

As we all know by now the Williamstown repeater site is off line. This is scheduled be returned to operation by Saturday the 19th with a walk in to the site for the second time. I hope that Hams have found this site to be a value to the communications in our surrounding area. The repeater has suffered from no technical difficulties that would require repair or further down time.
