News From Cecil - W5CQG!
This past week we had out monthly club meeting. We discussed having another 'Fox Hunt'. That will be coming up soon (next month), so plan to attend. It's lots of fun. Hopefully we will also have a demonstration on just how easy it is to 'build' a simple 2 meter 'Beam Type' antenna to use for FOX HUNTING.
We still have plenty of club logo 'patches' (at $4.00 a piece). Susan has them. Just let her know how many you want and she will fix you.
Dave hasn't come up with a 'count' yet on our Field Day contacts. I taking up for he, I have to say he has been very busy with work projects as well as things at home. He did say, however, he will be coming up with a 'count' soon.
Remember .. we are open for suggestions for our next HamFest. We need your input. Don't hold back. If you have an idea, please tell us. We want ideas on food, door prizes and anything else you might think about.
There are still a couple of things that haven't been corrected on out club roster but Susan is working on the changes that need to be made. If you know of something that isn't correct, let her know. You can also get a 'print out' of the roster from our WEB PAGE. Loke at it at WWW.K5MNY.COM. You can also view pictures from our HamFest as well as our Field Day.
That's all for now .. unless Dave or Susan wants to add something. I just happened to think of one more thing. If you would care to volunteer to call the Tuesday night net for a week or two, let Susan know.
As usual .. until next time .. 73's from W5CQG Cecil |
