Our little stick man is really active today... But then again, so is the Green Bay Mike & Key Club... As a member, you can and should be too... !! Many of us have studied long and hard to achieve the FCC license and we had a goal to why we did... Many, be able to operate the radio during events to support our community. This is a great goal!! But we must stay active to be good at it. Take advantage of the opportunity to get on the air... even if it is not our own equipment... being with someone that has the radio is willing to have you operate.. As you have read the schedule in each of our newsletters or on the Website, you will see the chances to be active..
You have questions on where and when, don't be afraid to ask...or some question about a certain radio and how to work with rig control.. As a club, we join together to help and to get help.. as Red Green said "We're all in this together"
Before we look ahead, let's see what has happened recently:
Club meeting:// Once again there was a full house with more new folks joining in.. The reports of the committees showed we are on the fast track for the Ham Cram, Special Event, the Brat Barns, Field Day, The Marathon - Check our schedule for the times and dates ....
Awards Banquet ;// Congratulations to Larry Schulman, K9IQ for his being recognized as "Ham of the Year" for his work at the Brat Barns, the Lighthouse on the Air activities, Field Day help as the Safety Officer, working with Scouts for the Jamboree on the Air, his work in the SNC Shack, installing new controls, along with grounding all the related equipment by tying it all to the building ground... and putting lightning protectors on the incoming antenna coax.

Wisconsin QSO Party:: Wes Michael and Dave Catalano activated the Club Shack at St. Norbert.. Everything worked well ... The last hour the pipeline opened up and had a hard time keeping up the log..
