AE0S recommended buying a new generator for the club due to the age of the present ones.  Approx $900  including the cord.  This was voted on and approved.

Tabled for now while checking on level of commitment.

 

REMEMBER - THE NEXT CLUB MEETING WILL BE

AT THE ADVENT BUILDING ON VANDIVER.  If you need directions tune in to 146.76 and help will be there.

      

I saved Field Day for last as this was one of the best and most enjoyable that I have been to in a while.  It appeared there were more people to help set up and also to take down.  And the operating was a lot of fun.

If you didn't make it shame on you and if you had to work, well better

luck next time.  Here's hoping John N0EG will have some figures

(numbers) for us at the July club meeting.  We had 4 stations running.  WE had a big spread  in the Columbia Tribune on that Sunday.  Will someone send in a report to ARRL?????

 

We are still giving VE testing at the club station so if you want to UPGRADE

please see me and if I haven't mentioned it to you shame on me.  We had four last testing session and all passed but none were from the club. 

 

Well that's all I have for now, see you at the club meeting.
