The SPARC club is sad to share that club member Mike Scott is now a silent key. Mike was a long-time SPARC club member, long-time member, and webmaster of the W4ORM club and by all reports a terrific person. Also, Mike designed and published this website for SPARC. Many of the original pages were authored by Mike.
Please keep Mike’s spouse and family in your thoughts. More information will be posted as it becomes available.
We will be holding our monthly meetings at DMI Research located at 6699 90th Ave N in Pinellas Park. We look forward to seeing everyone for our next meeting on May 6th.
We will be moving the location of our monthly club meeting. We will post the new location as soon as we have a new location set.
