Thanks to everyone that helped make the 2026 hamfest such a success.
Tonight’s meeting will be held at Mosquito Lake Beach at the Pavilion. Also, both August meetings will be at the pavilion. We will not be able to have meetings at the EMA because they are in the process of moving to the new location. Let’s hope the rain misses us.
Tuesday, July 7th from dawn to dusk, we will have a picnic at Mosquito Lake State Park under the pavilion near the beach. Some of us will be there by 8-10am. We will have at least a couple of radios available. You are welcome to bring your own radio and antennas, if you like. We can do some POTA and make some satellite contacts. We will also make a 10GHz airplane scatter contact.
Food is planned for late afternoon. Jennifer and her husband, Andy will be making brisket! Please bring a side dish or desert if possible.
Since this is our regular meeting day, we will have a very short meeting at 7:00pm.
Hope to see everyone there!
Field Day, 2:00pm Saturday, June 27th to 2:00pm on Sunday will be held at the Mosquito Lake State Park Marina in the small wooded area just south of the marina parking lot.
Antenna set up will begin around 5-6:00pm on Friday, 26th until we get them placed. Final set up on Saturday usually begins around 9:00am, especially for those needing help with radio configuration like integrating N3FJP for logging. We always appreciate volunteer club members who are available and can help with the set ups.
VISITORS WELCOME!!!
