Various Newsletter Highlights



The newsletters have begun rolling in. I do read each & everyone. Here’s some of what has arrived recently.

The Log, published by the West Park Radio Ops notes that their club meeting on July 4th is cancelled, but for their program night on July 18th, they are holding a “Test Your Tuner Night”. Sounds like a great idea for a club program.

According to the Q-Fiver, it looks like the OH-KY-IN Amateur Radio Society has a busy summer planned. Their Hamfest will be September 21st. It also looks like they have developed a relationship with hive 13; a local makers group.
They have a “Brunch bunch” who meets on the second Saturday of each Month at various restaurants. This sounds like a great way to network outside of the club meetings, and nets.

The Radiogram from the portage County ARS (PCARS) is its usual size. 33 pages this month. It has a full report of the club Field Trip to the K3LR contest superstation in NW Pennsylvania.
They’ve received a Yaesu DR-1 repeater, and have wasted no time putting it into service.
Their club picnic is coming up in a few weeks, followed a few weeks later by their annual Cruise-in.

Now for the shameless plug for the Alliance ARC via their newsletter; the Zero Beat. I have to warn you that I’m the editor of that one. On July 19th they’ll be having a NAQP-RTTY Picnic. This one is aimed at developing some new RTTY contesters.  

That’s about it for now. I’ll post more as newsletters come in, which is all the more reason to put me on your mailing list.  73 de John, KD8MQ (kd8mq1@gmail.com)
