Amateur radio operators in northwestern Wisconsin often seek local community and technical support, which the Barron County Amateur Radio Association (BCARA) provides. This organization facilitates regular meetings, nets, and events, connecting hams across the region for shared learning and operational experiences. Members engage in various aspects of the hobby, from contesting and DXing to emergency communications and technical projects, reinforcing local Elmering traditions. The BCARA maintains a presence on social media, including a Facebook group with over **100** members, enabling real-time communication and event coordination.

Their activities encompass both VHF/UHF operations and _HF bands_, ensuring a broad appeal to operators with diverse interests and equipment setups.

The PAC-12 Antenna, a multi-band portable vertical, is meticulously detailed in this construction article by James Bennett, _KA5DVS_. The design emphasizes ease of homebrewing using readily available components from local hardware stores, including replaceable loading coils. It outlines the preparation of the 72-inch telescoping whip (originally from Radio Shack, with an alternate source now provided by _Pacific Antenna_), the construction of the loading coils from PVC risers, and the fabrication of the aluminum rod base sections. Specific instructions cover threading aluminum rod with a _1/4-20 threading die_ and assembling the feedpoint insulator with a BNC connector, along with recommendations for radial deployment. KA5DVS, an avid traveler and QRP enthusiast, developed the PAC-12 to address the bulkiness of random wire setups and the limitations of commercial portable antennas like the Outbacker or SuperAntennas MP1. His goal was a lightweight, packable antenna that disassembles into 12-inch sections, achieving an assembled length of approximately 8 feet. The design strategically places the loading coil away from the base for improved efficiency. The PAC-12 notably placed first in efficiency compared to a quarter-wavelength wire vertical at the HFPack antenna shootout during the Pacificon conference in October 2001, demonstrating its practical performance for field operations. Appendix C showcases various _NJQRP Club_ members' PAC-12 constructions, including a 20m beam made with multiple PAC-12 elements.

The Club aims to meet the needs of all interested in amateur radio, and has a varied programme of guest speakers, surplus sales, members' interests evenings, and social evenings.

When planning your operating schedule, a reliable contest calendar is an essential tool for any serious contester. This DARC-maintained resource compiles current contest announcements for both HF and VHF/UHF operations, making it straightforward to identify upcoming opportunities for competitive radio sport. My own experience has shown that having a centralized, well-organized calendar saves significant time, especially when targeting specific events like the Clubmeisterschaft Classic (CMC) or the KW-Pokal. The DARC calendar highlights these German and European scoring contests in yellow, providing immediate visual cues for participants. HF contests are clearly marked in blue, while VHF/UHF events appear in red, simplifying band-specific planning. Beyond the major international contests, the calendar emphasizes regional events, which can be particularly useful for those aiming to improve their standing in local club competitions or explore less common contest formats. Special activity periods, such as those spanning multiple days, are also noted with a green background, ensuring operators are aware of extended operating windows.
