Club meeting
Sorry for the long hiatus between postings. The next club meeting will be our Christmas Desert Potluck and elections. In November we nominated officers. We had a good meeting with the Boy Scouts on October 15. November 5 the ARES members conducted a Statewide Emergency Test. Some of us continue to meet at the Hilander the fourth Saturday of the month at 11:30 for a no-host lunch and rag chew. And we continue to have our local Net check-in every Thursday evening at 7 PM PST.
The regular monthly meeting of HCRA will be held 10 AM, Harney County Courthouse basement conference room, Saturday July 9. All are invited to attend. We’ll be reviewing our Field Day successes.
We had a great turnout at Field Day and saw some new faces interested in ham radio.
