[ADXA] Meetings

[w5znjoel at gmail.com]

Greetings ADXA Folks,

 

Our 3rd Quarterly Meeting of 2025 will be held September 20 at 1:00 PM via
Zoom. John, WB5BHS, will announce the program once it is finalized. I have a
business trip that week and may be traveling back during that time, my
schedule is not yet firm. If so, the most capable ADXA VP Pat, W5VY, will
ramrod the show! The Zoom meeting link will be sent later.

 

The ADXA Annual Meeting & Conference will be held November 8. I have
mentioned many, many times that selecting a location for our meetings,
especially the annual meeting, is a difficult and complicated process. We
are a very active, statewide group and meeting locations, to be fair and
accommodating to everyone, is a challenge. The Russellville area is
convenient but the meeting facilities are not very accommodating.
Russellville also adds a level of complexity when a special guest travels in
by air. Little Rock and northwest Arkansas have great facilities but comes
with travel complications for our members a long distance from those areas.

 

This year we received an invitation from our northwest Arkansas members to
host the meeting in Springdale at the Arkansas Law Enforcement Training
Academy (ALETA). This is an impressive facility and the monthly meeting
location of the Bella Vista Radio Club (BVRC, that has over 300 members!).
The facility has a very large, modern meeting room with excellent audio
visual equipment, comfortable seating, and an additional large room is
available for our noon meal. It is located only 10 minutes from the Holiday
Inn-Springdale (and several other adjacent hotels) for those who would plan
to spend the night before or after. The ALETA facility is offered to us rent
free, thus affording a reduced registration fee for our conference. I have
presented a program for BVRC twice and can personally recommend the
facility. 

 

The ADXA board discussed this at great length, understanding that any
location comes with challenges to some of our members. Following our
discussion we agreed to hold our 2025 annual meeting in Springdale, and the
2026 annual meeting in Little Rock. 

 

Specific details on the program, speakers, and special guest will be
forthcoming. In the meantime, I hope to possibly see you, on the computer
screen, on September 20.
