THE PRESIDENT’S CORNER
Monthly Newsletter Supporting the Advancement of Amateur Radio June 2006
At our last meeting, we considered more work on the portable tower project. As of this past weekend Fred Stueve, KØTCS has received a price quote of $300 to sandblast the trailer. We will need to decide if this is the amount we would like to spend for this stage of the project.
The club has also not decided on Field Day events for the event, which will be on June 24th- 25th. We will attempt to make plans for the event at our meeting.
On June 4th Myron and Nancy Calhoun, WØPBV and NØKMU; Fancis Sable, WØEVJ, and myself aided with the annual Red Cross Triathlon. The event was delayed by an hour or so, but finally went on. There were a couple of equipment proglems but there were quickly solved, and our services were appreciated. Fortunately there were no emergencies that needed our attention.
Our meeting this month will be at the Red Cross in Manhattan at 2601 Anderson Avenue at 7:30 P.M., with our eating meeting being at the All Chinese Buffet located at 2304 Stagg Hill Rd. at 5:30 P.M. We invite all members and nonmembers and guests are welcome. We hope to see you there.
