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.
Events
A Modern Repeater and Nets Directory
The public Repeaters & Nets page now features prominent local repeater cards, radio-programming details, band and access summaries, and a responsive technical quick reference.
The page also shows the next 10 entries from the calendar's Nets category with direct event links and a clear path to the complete public calendar.
Website
More Distinct About Page Imagery
The founding-story panel now uses a radio-signal inspired design instead of repeating the water tower already shown in the page introduction.
Website
The Story of MCARC
The About page now tells how Cory Brassine's disaster-response vision brought Martin County radio operators together and led to the club's first meeting on January 25, 2024.
A new founding timeline, club facts, service mission, and clearer paths to meetings, membership, and meeting minutes give visitors a more complete picture of MCARC.
Website
Balanced Join Page Columns
The membership information and application columns now finish on the same horizontal line on larger screens.
Website
Simpler License and Address Fields
The membership application now lists only Technician, General, and Amateur Extra as license classes.
Mailing information is now entered and reviewed in separate Street Address, City, State, and ZIP Code fields.
Accounts
Complete Online Membership Application
The public Join page now includes the full MCARC membership application, club dues information, and a professional mobile-friendly layout.
Administrators can review each applicant's complete information, approve or reject the request, and see pending applications directly in the Activity Log.
Public Join MCARC links now lead to the application, while older signup links continue to reach the correct page.
Website
Clearer Homepage Navigation
Homepage navigation links now use a short gold indicator directly beneath each label when selected, hovered, or focused.
Website
Public Change Log and Archive
Visitors can now follow the site's recent improvements and browse older releases from the public Change Log without signing in.
The public archive and Member Hub Change Log share one release history, so both audiences always see the same plain-language updates.
A clearly labeled Change Log link is available with the public footer links.
Website
Refreshed Public Pages
About, Repeaters & Nets, Get Licensed, Join, and public event details now share the calendar's shorter hero style, cleaner cards, improved spacing, and responsive interior-page design.
Technical information has more room, licensing steps are easier to follow, membership benefits are easier to scan, and the homepage design remains unchanged.
Repeater frequencies now show the MHz unit only once even when it is already part of the saved frequency.
Events
Phone Calendar Starts Today
On phones, the current month agenda now begins with today's date and continues forward, while desktop and tablet visitors still see the complete month grid.
Events
Modern Public Calendar
The public calendar now has a shorter introduction, sticky month controls, a Today button, category filters, roomier event cards, a clearer current-day highlight, and a more compact upcoming-events list.
Calendar entries can show two lines of their titles, and the public navigation now labels the page Calendar.
Events
Wider Public Calendar
The public calendar now uses more of the available screen width on larger displays, giving busy dates and event names more room while retaining comfortable side margins.
Events
Cleaner Public Calendar Page
The public calendar now uses the simpler /calendar address, while old /events links continue to forward visitors to the right page.
The repeated Calendar heading above the month controls has been removed from the public page.
Events
Upcoming Nets on the Homepage
The right-hand homepage card is now labeled Upcoming Nets and shows only future calendar entries from the Nets category.
Events
Clearer Weekly Nets Heading
The weekly nets card on the public homepage is now labeled MCARC Weekly Nets.
Accounts
Clearer Member Hub Preview
The Member Hub preview on the public homepage now uses two columns for its feature list on larger screens, leaving clear space above the login button.
The preview now highlights contest logging, the document library, Skywarn activations, free exams, and HF nets alongside the existing Member Hub tools.
Events
Club Events on the Homepage
The Next Club Event card on the public homepage now shows only upcoming calendar entries from the Club Events category.
Visitors can open the featured event for full public details, use Read more when its description continues, or choose View all events to open the public calendar listing.
The complete calendar is now available to every website visitor without signing in, while member submissions and administrator controls remain private.
Website
A New Public Home for MCARC
The public homepage now gives visitors a clearer introduction to MCARC, with current club events, weekly net times, active repeater information, membership details, and a direct path to the Member Hub.
The welcome image now takes up less of the opening screen, bringing useful club information into view sooner.
The public navigation now opens dedicated pages for club information, repeaters and nets, events, licensing, and membership.
The public header image now shows a more accurate Loogootee water tower, including its name, structure, and antenna installation.
Accounts
Member Hub Address Updated
The Member Hub now uses /hub in its web address. Older /dashboard links and bookmarks will continue to open the matching Hub page.
Events
Calendar Updates Stay in View
The calendar now keeps the month you are viewing in the address, so a refresh, edit, or deletion stays on that same month.
Calendar changes now reload the visible month right away instead of requiring a browser hard refresh.
