July '08 Presidents Corner

Hello Fellow Amateurs,
Welcome to the Blog for RACK. Randy, KG4SZW, has been working on this and I believe it is a great idea. It works so simply that even I understand the basics of running it. So let's give this a try and see what becomes of it. Use the comments section and tell us what you think. Great work Randy!
To start a summary of June, we had a fantastic Hamfest. Lou, WB3JKQ, did such a great job that I can't compliment him enough. From the prizes, forums, vendors, tailgate area and the food, it was all great. It will be hard to beat. Lou and his crew deserve a "Thanks Lou" from all us members to show our appreciation.
The last event of the month was ARRL Field Day. As in years past, it was held at Ft. Dickerson Park. The attendance was very good. Attendees included curious hams, visitors to the park, city council member, vacationers, and members of the club. We had (6) stations on the air simultaniously at one point. The vacationers were from Indiana and Chicago. They picked our club out of all their options to come and enjoy field day. I understand we WAS which I believe is outstanding. Good work and thanks to all that participated.
At our last meeting, we held elections. The members voted to extend the current term till September of this year to give our nominating committee time to find new board members.
The new blog will be fun and I hope it to be successful. Give us your comments.
Keep our Military Troops in your prayers,
See you at the meeting, (7/17/08)
Jim, N4CFB
