It is with great sadness to announce the passing of longtime member, and friend — Ken Martens. Ken has been with UPARC for many years, serving as Secretary for a year, and as part of the Net Controller Team until recently. Ken also enjoyed being an Old Goats Member on 3.910Mhz daily. He was always quick to offer help, advice, and a touch of humor to every conversation.
No services have been announced at this time, but full military honors are expected to take place at Bay Pines – we will keep the club informed as more information is provided.
Please keep his wife Cloyce, and their family in your thoughts and prayers.

ARRL Field Day is a combined event to test our ability to setup radio communication under less than ideal conditions–think temporary antennas, generators and radio gear. Our event this year is a combined event with two clubs—the Clearwater Amateur Radio Society (CARS) and the Upper Pinellas Amateur Radio Club (UPARC). The date is June 25th starting at 2:00 PM until Sunday June 26th at 2:00 PM. Setup generally begins in earnest at 9:00 AM on Saturday morning. The location for all of this is the Clearwater Fire Department Fire Training Center at 1716 N. Belcher Road in Clearwater. Click
