The TARC board of directors has made the decision to suspend ALL organized meetings, testing, events and open houses until further notice due to COVID-19.

The clubhouse will continue to be available for platinum members.

Please continue to monitor this site and / or our e-mail list for updates on club activities.

To All Club Members,

As you well know, there are cases of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) in Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties. Besides the Corona virus, there are the normal expected flu and cold bugs going around. We ask that you please be helpful to your fellow club members and take the following common-sense precautions to reduce everyones risk:

1) Please wash your hands before eating, drinking, or preparing any food, including coffee.

2) Please wash your hands before using the radios and/or computers.

3) If you have any flu or cold symptoms, please consider staying at home and refraining from attending meetings or visiting the clubhouse until symptom-free for at least a couple of days.

Some Club members have underlying medical conditions that may render them less resistant to any infections, making any resulting illness more severe. We want to keep our friends healthy, so please follow these three requests.

Currently, the Tampa ARC Board has not announced any moratoriums or suspensions on meetings and get-togethers, nor has the Board announced any closure of the clubhouse. The Board is monitoring the situation concerning COVID-19 and will provide updates as needed. Please check back for updates regularly, and monitor the 147.105 repeater.
