The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 26th, 2025 @ 6:30 PM at the Cattletown Steakhouse & Saloon, 3141 E Drexel Rd, Tucson. We will be discussing updates to the club constitution and introducing the new Club Board of Directors.  Please attend to have a voice in the club planning for 2025.

Prior to the club meeting this month, there will be an open house at the W7SA radio station and emergency communications center in 811R.  The open house will begin at 4:30 pm and end at 6 pm. The 811 "Ham Shack" is the small modular building located between the two antenna towers.  This open house is intended for all Raytheon employees to see the capabilities of our club and entice you to join! We will have sign-up sheets available. Since the shack is located on the Raytheon airport plant site, only persons with badge access will be able to attend.  Please come and see what Amateur Radio is all about at Raytheon.

W7SA now has new repeaters on 2m and 70 cm, which are now online and functioning well. They are an open repeaters, so any licensed ham radio operator is welcomed to give it a try.  Any QRM reports related to our repeater should be send to W7SA-bod@googlegroups.com.

All Raytheon employees are welcome to join and participate in CRC activities. For further information, email to CRC Board of Directors, w7sa-bod@googlegroups.com

At this time, local Amateur Licensing exams and classes are offered by the Radio Society of Tucson club (K7RST), OVARC testing, and online (ARRL.ORG and others). The CRC does not currently provide license training, but with your help, we hope to change that in 2025.
