RADIO HAPPENINGS 2.11.2024

 Saw a quote that can be my new year's resolution. "My weight loss goal is to be able to tie my shoes and breathe at the same time."  But now to the Radio portion...
    At the last Club meeting, some of the first part of the year's schedule was decided.
    March 10th is the Wisconsin QSO Party.. where we try to contact as many of Wisconsin's 72 Counties. Although you can participate from home, the Izaak Walton Osprey Point facility will be usable for the event with a possible three stations.. The event is from 1PM until 8PM. Remember to list the Green Bay Mike & Key Club as the club even though you use your callsign. If you use the N3FJP logging software, there is a new version.. 4.5.5 .. 
    March 16th will be the date for the Annual Awards Banquet. It will take place at the Village Grille, 801 Hoffman Rd. The same location as the Christmas Party. The Club will be paying a portion of the per plate cost. More info as it comes out. 
       Time is running out for sending your choice for Ham of the Year. Send to :  Dave - KD9HJJ  dziesmer@wi.rr.com, .
    If you have an award for a member (comic or real) please bring it along and expect to explain it if necessary.... (keep it family friendly please)
