Club Announcements

The VHF Contest/Club Picnic is a go for Saturday September 13. I have been given approval by DCNR for our gathering. The event will be held at 1975 Birch Run Rd, Biglerville, PA 17307. 9am - 5pm. I will be there at 9am to help with set-up. BIll/N3LJP has a Quad antenna for 2 meters that he's bringing and Dave/N3DRL has several VHF/UHF beam antennas that he is bringing. We aren't sure what we have for poles/masts to put them on yet. If anyone has a pole that we can set-up temporarily we would be most grateful if you can lend it to us for the event.

An email to each club member was sent out regarding the event. I only ask for you to respond by Sept. 8 just to let me know what equipment, and how many in your party are attending and to bring something to share. The club will provide hamburgers and hotdogs but the rest will be potluck.

73! and Thank You!

A HUGE THANK YOU to NA1CN, N3LJP, K3WVU, N3LTQ, N3DRL, and KC3WUP for helping out in the kitchen at the Steam Show this past weekend. We had a great turn-out and the help was very much appreciated by our friends at the Cumberland Valley Antique Engine and Machinery Association.

Thank You!
