Announcements

  • Our last meeting was held on June 25th face-to-face (no Zoom) as planned.  Mark (WB5ANN) hosted the meeting along with ~8 others in attendance.  There were many new hams testing and all passed!  Mark prepared a nice presentation of photos from Field Days past.  We reminisced about the old days but were sadened by too many Silent Keys in those photos.  After the meeting, some of us headed to the park to join Ralph and the gang.  Stephen and Mark have created a very nice video and photos to preserve the memories for years ahead.  And again, many thanks go out to Jeremy (KG5PYY) for organizing and cooking the a great meal for us on Saturday night!!
  • Contact Mark if you are interested in License exam testing.  Also, see the "Exam Sessions" link above for more information.
  • If you have a photo of your ham shack or favorite operating location, please send it on and I'll post them for all our members see... and comment!!  Please include your callsign in the photo.  Images submitted so far can be found here!
  • If you'd like to be added to our email reflector and share in the dialog between club members and local area hams, send me a request.
