Hello to everyone at the PARC, my radio home away from home, hi hi. I would like to invite everyone who can to participate in our special event station happening 4/27/2024. The Green Bay Mike and Key Club is celebrating the founding of St. Norbert College in De Pere, WI 125 years ago. It is common knowledge around here that the college was an early experimenter with radio and brought the first radio broadcast station to the Green Bay area. Although the station is no longer owned by the Norbertine Fathers who still run the college, WTAQ is still on the air and it’s transmitting plant is nestled inside the property of the campus on an outlying edge.
It would sure be great to hear some of those 4 calls on that Saturday, so please help us make the day a memorable event. Details about when and where to find us on the dial are below.

***Unfortunately, we have discovered some technical issues with our club station antennas, causing some unnecessary noise while trying to make contacts, so we regrettably will not be open 24 hours tonight. If you come by while we are still here, welcome! but we will be closing down soon to join in other clubs’ FD activities. Regularly scheduled Sunday Pile-Ups with the Playground Amateur Radio Club! will commence tomorrow (Sunday) at 3pm! Hope to see you there! 73, KQ4FRB***
