The club was instrumental in the construction of the shack, and AC\u00d8RL feels it is a club resource. There are many contests coming up and AC\u00d8RL desires for the membership to benefit fro use of the shack. AC\u00d8RL will publish a list of events that he will be available to open the shack. If there is an event you wish to operate in, please notify AC\u00d8RL. AC\u00d8RL is ready to have the new beam antenna mounted on the new tower. This will be beam #2, a real pileup buster. He will put out a message as to when the beam party will occur.<br \/>\n* John Brady asked about special events at the Cosmosphere.
