Announcements

  • The July meeting was hosted by Mark (WB5ANN), acting as president and VP for the time being.  The meeting devolved into an adhoc discussion about Hurricane woes, recovery and preparedness for the next one.  There are no minutes but I may write up something for posterity.
  • There are no topics or presentations planned for the August meeting; if have something to share with the members or show and tell, here's your opportunity...
  • We are still looking for volunteer net control operators to host one or more of our Tuesday night 2m nets.  The script prominately posted at the 'Downloads' tab above will guide you along with little effort.
  • 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.
