Holland Amateur Radio Club K8DAA USA

In case you haven’t heard, the Holland Amateur Radio Club has a new logo! We’ll be using this new logo on T-Shirts, caps, hoodies, desktop backgrounds, screensavers, and anything else you can stick a logo on! HARC would like to thank Rob and Christina NR8J and KJ8FIZ for making this beautiful new logo for HARC. Rob has asked us to share the designs here so people can check it out and download them for their desktop or screensaver if they so wish. Please enjoy.  There are 4 file types for you to choose from: TIFF, PDF, PNG, and JPEG. Click on link and right click to Save Image

The Holland ARC can be found on the groups.io email list server.  If you would like to sign up, please go to:

https://k8daa.groups.io/g/k8daa

From there you will see “apply for membership” icon. Click on that and follow the instructions and we should be good to go.

The archives are available at any time to be read without logging in.  Todd, W8YHF ported over thousands of emails from the Yahoo Group.

The HARC has decided to split out “swap” messages into their own mailing list on groups.io.  A list has been set up so that anyone already subscribed to the main K8DAA group will be able to post by sending a message to buysell@k8daa.groups.io.  If you’d like to subscribe to the list to receive the messages by email, however, you’ll need to send an email to buysell+subscribe@k8daa.groups.io.

More details about the subgroup are available here:
