  Our check in list was sent to the Emergency Management Dept.. 

Mike and Key Club Ham Fest June 4th.!!!

 Plans continue to be grafted into a working model for the “swap”. Diagrams, sketches and numbers are put into Excel sheets and Google maps to lay out a flow of traffic.

 A lot of things to consider--  table layout, food, parking, setting up and taking down etc…                              The biggest factor -the people resource. Not the customers – but the volunteers to make this happen. If all those that raised their hand and voted for this event, volunteered.. no problem…    Please plan now to volunteer for this…  A list of positions will be at the next meeting to signup .. This Thursday…

    Welcome to those that have moved to our area !

     Over the last couple of weeks, we have been receiving calls from Operators that have been moving into our area and looking at joining the local Radio Club.  They have said that they have heard good things and hope to be a part of it..  We may see them at the next meeting…
