The Claiborne County, TN ARES will operate special event station W4C at the Claiborne County Fair from August 27th through September 1st, 2007. We'll be recruiting amateur radio, ARES, and Citizen Corps membership at the fair. There will be sign-up for ham license and CERT training classes to be given in September and October. We'll be demonstrating HF SSB and CW, welfare traffic handling, and 2-meter FM and APRS operation at the booth.

Certificates will be available to all stations contacting us. Send SASE to Claiborne County ARES c/o Rick Blasco NX6R, P.O. Box 279, New Tazewell, TN 37824-0279. Use #10 or larger envelope (prefer 8-1/2 x 11 to keep certificate flat) with first class postage affixed.
