“TALARC WEBSITE
Because the American Legion website has been updated with a new design, there is no longer a button on the main page to take you to the TALARC site. You will either have to type in the URL: www.legion.org/hamradio, OR go to the main Legion website, highlight “Programs” and then click on Amateur Radio Club. As always, questions, discussions and ideas are welcome on the TALARC forum.

MEMBER EMAIL ADDRESSES
If you have not been receiving TALARC updates by email, it may be that we don’t have your email address on record. If you have any doubt, or want to get on TALARC email distribution – or if your email address has changed since you joined TALARC - please send us your new email address so we can update our database and ensure that you receive the latest club information. Send your changes to k9tal@legion.org, attn: Joe, KJ9M.

HF NETS UPDATE
The monthly 20 METER American Legion Amateur Radio Club Net that meets the 2nd Saturday of each month with Net Control Bill, KI0CW, runs on or about 14.280 MHz. The net is held at 1700 Zulu.

IRLP – Echolink NET
The American Legion IRLP/Echolink Net is gaining momentum and continues to grow. It is held the 2nd Saturday of every month at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 UTC).

NATIONAL CONVENTION
Any TALARC members who will be attending the American Legion National Convention in Charlotte next month and are interested in the possibility of holding an informal TALARC meeting, please send along your request with your thoughts on the best time to meet to k9tal@legion.org. If there is enough interest, we will try to find a location at the convention center. We will be monitoring 146.46 simplex and probably a local repeater also. More info will be forthcoming.

Again, send your suggestions to k9tal@legion.org. More information about the club is available at www.legion.org/hamradio.
