It’s been a busy Summer with lots of Ham radio activities and events. Hamfest, Field Day, CQ Tuesdays, Fox Hunts, Club Meetings, Brat Barns, Siren Tests, Lighthouse Activations…and some things I might have left off. My point is that we have a very active club that offers many ways to enjoy our hobby. But…we’re always looking for new ideas that we can consider in our effort to provide activities that interest you. Please come to a meeting and make suggestions…the next meeting is this Thursday, July 10. Our Tech Talk will feature Todd, W9GRB who will be telling us all about the Star Link system. The Tech Talk is at 6:30 and the meeting begins at 7:00.
The meeting agenda will cover some upcoming events such as the club picnic in August, Fox Hunts, the addition of Echolink and ALLSTAR on the 147.120 repeater, upcoming lighthouse activations and the July 12 Brat Barn. As you know the Brat Barns are important to the club and Keith, KS9WI will be asking for volunteers to help out. As I’ve said, the Brat Barns are a great way to meet and get to know fellow club members and interact with the (hungry) public. Please raise your hand when Keith asks for help.
Unfortunately, I won’t be at the July meeting, but I’ll try to check in via Zoom. (The grandson of an old friend is getting married in Minnesota, so I’ll be over there for a few days.) Our most able Vice President Sam, W9SJR will chair the meeting.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or questions about our club.
Thanks & 73,
Bill, KB3KYH
And from Mike, W9MWP...
