| News: 2006 Hamfest - Great Fun For All! |
This past weekend produced a great hamfest for the
Montgomery Amateur Radio Club. We had several
"new additions" this year that we hope to see again.
KI4CSQ oversaw two Foxhunts and was quite inventive on
his placement. Our first fox of the day was placed
inside a Orange cone which was surrounding the bone yard.
Fox #2 was placed inside a McDonalds bag and was located
inside the coliseum. Both foxes were challenging and fun.
Thanks to Fred Springall - KR4YK, who brought out an Alabama Department
of Homeland Security, Emergency Management Agency,
communications vehicle. This gave those who were unable to
see it at the field day a chance to climb in and see
the impressive comm equipment supporting us
during times of need. Very impressive!
The Montgomery County EC, WB5NMZ - Mark Wintersole, offered
the FEMA IS100 and IS700 training. These courses are now
required to enter an affected area. Mark's forums assisted MANY
amateurs to be certified ensuring that the amateur community is
able to serve should the need arise.
Greg Sarratt - W4OZK was on hand with the demo D-Star Repeater System.
Those who came prepared with a radio were able to utilize it on UHF,
and many got their first exposure to it. During the Alabama Section forum,
Rick Seeders - KG4PNL was announced as the new Assistant Section Manager for
the Alabama Section.
During the D-Star Forum, we found that Alabama now has 8 operational D-Star
Repeater Systems. Albertville came online last week, adding to the excitement of
Birmingham's new digital repeater addition.
The many other forums were well attended, and the vendors all seemed pleased with
their experience in Montgomery yet again.
Thanks to all that helped pull off another great Montgomery Amateur Radio Club -
ARTHUR L. PRICE (KF4ILP) MEMORIAL HAMFEST AND COMPUTER SHOW.

| News: 2006 MARC Hamfest
November 11 |
The time has arrived!
This weekend The Montgomery Amateur Radio Club is sponsoring the ARTHUR L. PRICE (KF4ILP) MEMORIAL HAMFEST AND COMPUTER SHOW at the Garrett Coliseum.
The fun begins for some Friday evening, as we will have our Second Annual Pre-Hamfest Camp Out! The fee is small so if you have a camper, bring it out so you can walk out your door and already be at the hamfest! If you do not have a camper, you can still enjoy the campfire with those who do.
Saturday morning, an early arrival will reward you with a preview of what is in the bone yard as well as a Fox Hunt! Bring the DF Gear for a chance at a $25 Gift Certificate. You must register to be eligible to claim the Certificate, so please visit the tent beside the W4AP Communications Trailer prior to the hunt.
Looking to upgrade your license? Maybe you need to pass your Technician Class License exam, either way be there at 8:00 – Sharp! We will be prepared to offer both written elements as well as the Morse Code test.
The doors open at 9:00 A.M. giving you access to all vendors and forums. The times for the forums will be posted inside the coliseum. Here is a list of the forums available and a tentative schedule:
Room 1:
- 10:00-11:00, APRS
- 11:00-12:00, D-Star
- 12:00-13:00, ARRL Div./ Section Meeting
Room 2:
- 10:00-11:00, ARRL Youth Forum
Room 3:

- 12:00-14:00, MARS/FEMA Training
If MARS and FEMA are not combined, the FEMA Training will go to
room 2 at 12:00
As always, W4AP will be providing Talk In on 146.840 (-) MHz, but if you would like, you can print your own driving directions.
We can’t wait to see you at the Montgomery Amateur Radio Club ARTHUR L. PRICE (KF4ILP) MEMORIAL
