Hello Fellow Amateurs,
We have been showing and
using the CommVan of late. We displayed at the VOAD Fair, the following week at
the TenTec hamfest ant then last Saturday, we had a communications net assisting
the Cystic Fibrosis Bike Ride. This club project is in full swing and I want to
appeal to all members to participate by donating some of the needed equipment
for our van. If you want to help but don’t have any items to donate, cash is
always a needed item. I want to thank all that have helped to this point and
hope the excitement and enthusiasm will continue. Just a reminder, we can give
you a letter for your donation which may qualify you for a income tax
deduction.
Our October meeting will be a joint venture of the members that
attend.
We all have some kind of project in the works, so we are going to
bring them and have a show n tell night. This can also mean bringing a project
that you are having trouble with or just need another set of eyes to look at it
to get some suggestions. This will be an education for all of us and an
opportunity to share ideas and knowledge with our fellow members.
Our next
event will be the Boy Scouts event at the Furrow farm on October 27th, outside
of Loudon. There is expected to be about 3000 people attending. KUB, Red Cross,
RACK and other organizations will be set up at the farm. We will need volunteers
to help with set-up, tear down and there to answer questions from many
inquisitive participants. This is an all day event starting very early and
should be a great time to show off our hobby and emergency communication
capabilities. I want to encourage all members to help out in some way with this
and other events that we are having or working on. Thanks for helping, and
keep our Military forces in your prayers.
See you at the meeting,
Jim,
N4CFB
