Presidents address - May 2008

My apologies for not getting this out to you sooner...we've been travelling and my work obligations have recently increased substantially. I'm doing my best to maintain some appearance of balance.

Happy May!!! I'm certain everyone's summer plans are about to kick into high gear. A LOT of radio related activity has taken place since our last meeting!

Last week's VE testing session resulted in 15 new techs or generals! If you know of any of them, please reach out to them to get them involved - in the club, field day, the Expo...ANYTHING! Perhaps a list can/ or has been generated so we can determine how to best contract them...?

The May club meeting which will be held once again in Room EH109 at the RCTC/University Center campus. Park in the West lot and the room is readily accessible. Thanks again to Stan for working out this partnership with RCTC!

The Tech committee has an update on repairs/upgrades to the repeaters and other equipment to present to the membership.

The Field Day committee is seeking volunteers and assistance with the food program for that event. Please see Dave, KØVH regarding this or any other aspect of Field Day.

The education committee is excited to announce that we have acquired a tower for the upcoming Century High School station, AND permission to install it on the roof at that facility. Anyone interested in assisting in getting this station installed and up and running - please see Bill, NØNUV or Doug, KDØUGB.

Stan, KDØBQ is seeking suggestions for programs for the summer months.

After the monthly meeting concludes, Bob, ABØBW, will be providing a presentation and live demonstration on Digital Voice on HF, so stick around!!!

As usual, an informal HAM gathering at John Hardy's South at 5:30. Anyone is welcome!!

If anyone has any other items to be discussed at the meeting, please call me! 280-4003.
