More Stuff from Randy
OK I've been playing with the Blog today...added pics from the last meeting, resized some stuff, added a video slide show (on the bottom) from Field Day, added links for Foxhunting stuff, and most importantly I have changed the settings for adding comments. Anyone can now add comments to any posts, even without a Google ID. PLEASE do leave us your name when you comment. We may have problems with this, so if anyone sees a comment that needs to be edited or deleted please let myself, Jim, or Joe know about it and we can take care of it. Thanks and don't forget the Foxhunt on the 26th!!!

UTARC @ RACK Meeting
Info from Don Riley on Thursday's meeting....
The RACK meeting on Thursday 17Jul08, 7 pm at the Wallace Memorial Baptist Church on Merchants Road will feature the story of the UT Amateur Radio Club's
(UTARC) balloon flights, how the flights were tracked with modern radio techniques and the work by the UT college students that went into the preparation of the design, procurement, construction, and planning for the appropriate atmospheric conditions for their successful balloon flights. One flight almost reached the British Isles.
No college course could exceed the mental knowledge gained and the understanding obtained by these students as they went through pursuing these balloon flights. Dan Bowen will tell us the inside story of all phases of their record setting and student involvement activities.
Dan's presentation will provide RACK members with an understanding of the technical depth incorporated in these flights and the resulting student development obtained through participation.

Calendar
At the urgent request of The Club President, I have created a calendar for this blog. For right now it resides at the bottom of the page, as soon as I learn how to format it correctly I'll make it a little easier to view. If you need anything added to the calendar just leave a comment with the info and I'll get it on there (or you can just email me at kg4szw@arrl.net)
