I am happy to announce that CARS has made an arrangement with Colen Boutwell,
WA5RKR for the continued use of his mobile ham shack.

Bus Improvements

We had a good turn out for the annual bus wash with ten members in attendance: Colen Boutwell, Jackie Stewart, Jim Hodges, Jon Lash, Mary Austin, Michael Baisch, Mike Meador, Paul Brandt, Steve Poll and yours truly, Ron Austin.
Steve Poll & Jon Lash finished the mounts for the antenna masts.
The area I cleaned is circled in red. Everything else was cleaned by Jim, Paul, Michael and Jackie.
Steve Poll was instrumental in getting a lot of unnecessary items removed from inside the bus with the help of Colen, Jackie, Mary and myself.
Big thanks to Mike Meador for donating the 3 ton air conditioner. Jim Hodges carried the 150 pound AC unit up the stairs and into the bus and from hence forth he shall be called "Hercules".
