Monthly Newsletter  Supporting the Advancement of Amateur Radio  April 2011

Hello to all. I’d like to remind you that the Manhattan Area Amateur Radio Society will have its monthly club meeting Friday, April 8th. We will join for dinner for all those interested around 5:30 P.M. at the Manhattan Sirloin Stockade. We will then meet at 7:30 P.M. at the Manhattan Church of Christ at 2510 Dickens Ave. in Manhattan.

Our topics for this month’s meeting are a new meeting location which will happen in May, Field Day location for the annual ARRL Field Day event in June and the Cabin Fever bicycle ride leaving Wamego and heading out into northern Pott. county. For this event we plan on using the KØHAM St. Mary’s repeater, as it has excellent coverage in that area. The output for that repeater is 146.955, so those helping out might check it out before the meeting to make sure they can get into it, to have things set up correctly.

We hope to see you at the meeting on Friday.

ARRL DUES

NEW FROM ARRL – Beginning October 1, 2001, our club will receive $15 for each new member joining the ARRL through our club. This is for new members or those who have not been a member for two or more years. There will be no commission for renewals but we still may submit your renewals, if you wish. Since the club retains the dues, it is necessary for you to write your check to MAARS, and then the treasurer writes a check to ARRL.

MAARS DUES

Dues will be due by Oct. 31 and are: regular membership $20, full-time student $10, family $30. Please complete the following when renewing your membership, even if you did so last year. Return to the Treasurer, at a meeting or to MAARS, P. O. Box 613, Manhattan, KS 66505-0613. If you are currently receiving both the email and paper copy of the newsletter, please consider just receiving the email copy. It will save the club $5-6.00 per year per copy.
