Have you tried out the new and improved 147.360 repeater? 

Have you made any Ham Radio instructional videos? We could put in a link to it in the next newsletter…

Talking about links.. have you checked out all the links that are in the Club website? https://www.k9eam.org/p/links.html
 
Notice the club logo -- in color!  No, It was not me, but talented member of the club that did that..
 
Short note – The Club“Shack” at St. Norbert College will be open for the Wisconsin QSO Party. They will be using the Club Callsign.
 
When filling out your log sheet, be sure to include everyone that was operating, not just the operator whose call you used.. that way if your station gets an award, everyone that worked it, will be eligible.
 
·         China has built a giant radio antenna that uses five times the area of New York City. It will be used to communicate with submarines. The Wireless Electromagnetic Method (WEM) project took 13 years and will emit extremely low-frequency radio waves (ELF waves).
 
That’s it for this email…
 
Stay RadioActive.
