THE PRESIDENT’S CORNER
Last month Laurie Harrison (KCØKTY) presented us with a bit of information and asked for volunteers with the Civil Emergency Response Team program that Riley County is working on. John Skare (NØPVT) also shared his ‘beefed up’ survival kit that he carries.
Field Day locations were discussed with the group narrowing down the number of possible locations.
For our March 12 meeting Frank Gose (KCØLUG) will present us with information on and relating to the X-Prize competition. In short this competition is for the first team that can build a craft that is capable of carrying 3 passengers to an altitude of 100 kilometers (62.5 miles) and return safely as well as repeat this in a certain amount of time. It should prove to be an interesting topic.
As usual the meeting will be at 7:30 P.M. at 2601 Anderson Ave. We will also meet at the Sirloin Stockade around 5:30 for dinner. I hope to see you there.
Brian Carter, KCØDWX
