August Meeting

Hello Fellow Amateurs.Our August meeting will feature Mr. George Dominick, W4UWC, to talk about his 60 years in Ham radio. George will talk on history, equipment and fun in his powerpoint presentation. This is an event you will not want to miss. Wallace Memorial Baptist Church, 7:00pm, August 16th.Now for a bit of unpleasant news. Our repeater site on Chilhowee Mtn. has taken a major lightning strike or electrical surge. It has taken out the hamcam, weather station, computers, and much more. We will be going to the site to climb check on the tower and all equipment on the tower. At this time, the 2m, 1.25m and 70cm repeaters are working, but maybe not extremely well. More info as we find out. One thing is for sure, we will be filing on our insurance we have been paying on.More on the repeaters and equipment as we figure it out.See you at the meeting, Keep our military in your prayers,

Jim, N4CFB
