Central Carolina K9 Rescue are getting their radio communications in order thanks to KK4ZIU, N4AGL, and KK4RR. The next step is forming a club to obtain a club call.

We participated in Winter Field Day last year from the Caboose in Thomasville. It shouldn't be an issue to secure that location again if there are any interested. The event is from 2 PM January 26, 2019 to 2 PM January 27, 2019.Â
Currently our club repeater NC4AR on 145.290 is down due to building(roof) repairs. It is not expected to be out of commission for long.Â
2019 dues are due in January. They are $25 per individual or $30 for a family. Please make your checks out to Ed Martin, as the club does not maintain a bank account.
