The new W8UM Tower and HF/VHF/UHF antenna system was erected on Monday July 30, 2007. Have a look at the Tower Construction page to see photos of the tower and antennas going up on top of the EECS building.

The new tower and W8UM station overhaul was made possible through the generous support of the College of Engineering, EECS Department, and the club's alumni and current club members. Thank you for your support!

Field Day 2007, a mighty success!

The ARROW/UM-ARC clubs had another great Field Day out at Domino's Farms. Stay tuned for results. The UM-ARC team with notable ops Dennis KT8X, Steve K8QKY, Richard KD8APA maintained high QSO rates on the HF bands using the U-M Microwave Geophysics vehicle equipped with the club's CL-33 Yagi-Uda on a custom rotating mount (courtesty Dave WS8P).
