Tools Stay Inside the Member Hub
Members now have a dedicated Tools directory inside the Member Hub for Current Propagation, the Dipole Calculator, and future radio tools.
Shared tool names and descriptions now come from one directory so public and member listings stay consistent automatically.
Accounts
Tools Directory in Member Navigation
The Member Hub navigation now links to the complete public Tools directory instead of showing a separate Dipole Calculator link.
Website
A Calmer Overview on Every Screen
The latest-announcement card now uses a calmer slate-blue accent, and the Today at MCARC area uses tighter type and spacing on phones so the next event is easier to reach.
Accounts
A Stronger Member Overview Welcome
The greeting, latest announcement, and next event now share a lightly framed Today at MCARC area for a more cohesive first impression.
Accounts
A More Polished Member Hub
The Member Hub now has a compact footer, convenient links to public resources, and a softer background with familiar MCARC colors that better matches the public website.
Accounts
A More Focused Member Overview
The Member Hub Overview now uses shorter Quick links cards and avoids repeating the featured or next event in the additional upcoming-events list.
Accounts
Simpler Member Overview
The Member Hub Overview no longer shows a separate Dipole Calculator tile while the Tools link continues to provide access to the tools directory.
Contests
Clearer Contest Details
QSO party details now place operating periods, modes, bands, important notes, and official rules on separate lines for easier reading.
Events
Upcoming QSO Parties on the Calendar
The calendar now includes 15 upcoming North American QSO parties from late August through October under a new Contests category.
Contest details clearly show operating periods, modes, bands, power guidance when available, and links to the official rules.
Events that continue into a second day now appear on both dates, with breaks in operating time called out in the details.
Accounts
Member Navigation Fits Shorter Screens
The left-side Member Hub navigation now automatically tightens its spacing on shorter desktop and laptop screens so the full menu is less likely to need its own scroll bar.
Website
Working Links in the Latest Announcement
Links included in the Latest Announcement box on the Member Hub home page now open correctly, just as they do in the full announcement.
Accounts
Better Member Hub Support on Phones
The Member Hub now keeps its navigation within reach while scrolling, fits safely around phone screen edges, and prevents cards and controls from stretching pages sideways on small screens.
Compact phones now use tighter spacing while preserving comfortable menu, account, and form controls.
Events
Easier Calendar Web Addresses
Calendar months now use readable addresses such as /calendar/2026/september and /hub/calendar/2026/september instead of month codes in the address bar.
Opening, refreshing, and moving backward or forward through calendar months keeps the selected month in place.
Website
Easier-to-Read Repeater Tables
Repeater directory cells and column headings now use larger text with more breathing room for easier reading on desktop and phone screens.
Events
Calendar Editing Where You Are
Choosing Edit on a calendar event now opens the complete editing form in the current screen instead of placing it above the calendar out of view.
The editing window remains scrollable on smaller screens and keeps the same event fields, save confirmation, and calendar refresh behavior.
Website
Homepage About Link
The Learn About Our Club button near the bottom of the homepage now opens the About page correctly.
Website
Public Footer Tools Link
The homepage Quick Links now includes the public Tools directory.
Quick Links use a compact two-column layout that leaves room for more public resources without making the footer unnecessarily tall.
Website
Public Tools Directory
A new public Tools directory provides one consistent place to find every public MCARC calculator and utility.
The Dipole Calculator is the first listed tool, and future tools can be added to the same mobile-friendly directory.
Website
Public Dipole Calculator
The Dipole Calculator is now available publicly without signing in at /tools/dipole-calculator/.
Visitors can calculate overall and per-side wire lengths from an exact frequency or a common amateur band on desktop and mobile devices.
Documents
Public Meeting Minutes Library
Nineteen historical monthly meeting minutes are now organized by meeting date in the public Documents library.
Administrators can publish future documents with a document date, public visibility, and categories that can be added, renamed, or removed.
The public library adapts to phones and desktop browsers, with full-width mobile controls and flexible multi-word search.
Website
New Dipole Calculator
Members can now calculate the overall wire length and matching side lengths for a center-fed half-wave dipole using an exact frequency or common amateur band.
The calculator shows feet, inches, and meters, along with practical guidance for safely trimming and tuning the finished antenna.
Website
Clearer Homepage Radio Artwork
The public homepage now keeps both hero radios visible on wide desktop screens while retaining the 147.285 MHz Loogootee repeater display.
Website
Corrected Hero Radio Frequency
The handheld radio in the shared public hero image now displays the club's 147.285 MHz Loogootee repeater frequency. Everything else in the hero remains unchanged.
Website
Expanded Area Repeater Directory
The public repeater page now includes all 35 complete listings visible in the supplied club directory: 21 on 2 meters, 10 on 70 centimeters, three on 1.25 meters, and one on 10 meters.
Regional listings include the published output, offset, tone, access ID, digital mode, and notes in responsive band-by-band tables.
