Martin County ARES/RACES and the Fort Pierce Amateur Radio Club (FPARC) are working together to bring a new D-Star repeater to Martin County. The Icom system has been installed at the Martin County Radio Services Bunker and connected to a new four-element folded dipole antenna at about 300 feet. It is finally available for full D-Star functionality! Stay tuned for further information!
The Stuart Hamfest
Despite a touch of light rain, the 44th annual Stuart Hamfest was well-attended and, by all accounts, well-enjoyed! A hearty thank you to the vendors, and the members from both clubs that made the event possible.

Resources
For residents of Florida's coastal counties, the yearly start of Hurricane Season serves as a reminder to test our generators, clean out our gutters and swales, and stock up on fuel and non-perishable foods. But as Hams, we have the additional charge of making sure we are equipped and prepared to communicate under emergency conditions.
