Once again, we have the I-5 Gee Creek Rest Area coffee safety stop as one of the public services we provide that also generates donation revenue for the club’s annual operating budget.

Upcoming dates are:

September 4-5 – Northbound Rest Area. See schedule here.

November 27-28 – Southbound Rest Area.

If you are interested in supporting this great activity and meet some travelers in the process, contact Jerry/K7KWO at pres@w7aia.org to get signed up. If you are going to participate, we will be in need of coffee, cookies, or just plain money to buy the first two. Hope to see you there!

W7AIA ‘Swap and Shop’ Net on Tuesdays

Do you have extra and/or unused ham equipment just laying around your shack you would like to sell, trade-or just give away?

The W7AIA Swap & Shop net takes place on 8:00pm each Tuesday on the club’s 147.24+ repeater. Your host for this net is Wade/WB7RDE. The Swap and Shop net is for posting of information regarding the sale, trade or for free items and is strictly related to ham items only. No refrigerators, cars, etc.

The Swap and Shop is a great time to network with other hams in the area that may be looking for just what you have to sell. Maybe someone will have that hard to find item that you are looking for…. Check in and find out.
