Next UARC meeting:
Richard is going to present introductory and basic information you'll need to participate in ham radio public service and emergency communication activities: What you need to know and who to contact to become involved. What you can expect, what will be expected of you. A key rationale for the existence of the Amateur Radio Service (FCC Part 97) is our willingness and ability to serve the public and provide emergency communications capabilities.
Elmer's Corner - Rick Graham, AI3W: "Amateur Radio in Challenging Circumstances". Rick will talk about how he's successful in operating HF from a less-than-optimal apartment setting.

Other club news and announcements:
- Live, in-person UARC meetings have resumed! Live, in-person UARC meetings are happening again at our previous venue - the University of Utah in the Warnock Engineering Building. We continue to monitor the "health situation" and understand that not all members may be comfortable meeting in person just yet, so we've also been live "broadcasting" the meeting via the club's YouTube channel as before. Please join us at the in-person meeting if you can.
Gordon Smith, K7HFV (SK):
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and "Elmer" Gordon Smith, K7HFV on April 21, 2022. Gordon was not only the friendly voice on the radio, but the "Elmer's Elmer", helping new hams into the hobby, offering sage advice, and pointing the way for many new hams to become Elmers themselves.
You can find a short bio about Gordon and information about the memorial service here.
He will be greatly missed!
