The March meeting is a few days away…Thursday, March 14. Get there at 6:30 so you can see the Tech Talk presentation by Mike, KD9EGE. He’ll be talking about operations on the bands about 2-meters. This will be very interesting.
During the meeting we’ll bring you up to date on the Banquet, which is set for Saturday, March 16 at the Village Grille. The social hour begins at 5:00 and dinner is at 6:00. To sign up, please do so by contacting Dave, KD9HJJ at (262) 510-3376 or dziesmer@wi.rr.com. Tickets are only $12 each and you can pay at the door. We sure hope you will join us for an evening of fun and good eating.  
  Thanks to Keith, KS9WI, we now have the dates for our 2024 Brat Barns:
Saturday April 20th Green Bay, East
Saturday June 15th De Pere
Saturday July 13th Green Bay, East
We’ll talk about these important fun and fund-raising events at the club meetings. Remember, we can’t do it without your help.
Each month we look forward to interesting Ham Radio-related “Tech Talks” prior to our meetings. (We’ve got another good one for March.) The talks can be about anything that would be interesting to our members. Electronics, communications, weather, home-brew projects, noise abatement, antenna projects, emergency communications, contesting…you get the idea. Please consider sharing your experience and knowledge with us by giving a “Tech Talk”. Let me know if you’re interested.
The Wisconsin QSO Party is Sunday March 10 from 1:00 to 8:00 pm CDST. This is a great opportunity to get on the air and try your hand at contesting. The stated objective is, “Everyone works Wisconsin. Wisconsin works everyone. Everyone has fun!” Get all the details at www.warac.org. 
As always, please contact me with any questions or suggestions about our club.
