**Attention Members and Friends -- Testing and Meeting Update**

As of 03/17/2020 all testing and all meetings are canceled until further notice.

All OARS members, guests and friends.  Due to the extraordinary measures mandated by Governor Inslee to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, all regular OARS meetings and testing sessions are cancelled until further notice, effective immediately.  We apologize to all the future hams out there who look forward to our testing sessions, but this step is necessary under the current situation.  Our club has many members who are in the target sector of the population for this virus and we don’t want to take any chances with their health.

Meetings and testing sessions will resume once the virus has been contained and the “all clear” has been given.  We are as anxious to resume our normal schedule as you, so “stay tuned” for updates.

OARS members, guests and friends, we will be using the videoconferencing software called “Zoom” for our regular meetings for the foreseeable future.  This is an easy, free, and secure package to setup and use.  Simply go to https://zoom.us and sign up, hint: use your callsign as your last name.  All you need is a microphone, camera and internet access, there is also a dial-up option.  The app for your smart phone is also free, just go to the app store on your device and search for “Zoom”.  We will post the meeting id in advance of each meeting on our Facebook page, in group emails and on the Tuesday evening information net on 147.360+ MHz 103.5 Hz PL.
