Mike Scott K4ZPE, SK

By Charles Adkinson on 06/05/2022

The SPARC club is sad to share that club member Mike Scott is now a silent key. Mike was a long-time SPARC club member, long-time member, and webmaster of the W4ORM club and by all reports a terrific person. Also, Mike designed and published this website for SPARC. Many of the original pages were authored by Mike.

Please keep Mike’s spouse and family in your thoughts. More information will be posted as it becomes available.

Winter Field Day 2022 is Moving inside!

By Tom Schaefer NY4I on 01/27/2022

Since the forecast is for temperatures this weekend in the high 40s and low 50s during the day and to be 44 overnight with 20 mph winds, the decision was made to move the operating positions inside the Fire Training Center.
