This week you can work on your projects, radios or just chat with friends.  There are a lot of different groups all doing their thing with different radios.  Come see what’s happening.  Just good talk amongst friends.

 

Even though mask are not required feel free to wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.  There will be some wearing mask so you will not be the only one.

 

The pop cooler has some pop and water.

Small Computer SIG * NOTICE * 

 

The Single Board Computer SIG WILL NOT have a meeting on September 10th. September 10th is Ohio State Parks On the Air. I hope all the hams will have a chance to take part. The Huber Heights ARC will be at Sycamore State Park. You are welcome to join us or just stop by to see Ham Radio in action.

 

We now have a groups.io message area for the Single Board Computer SIG. The message is currently set up for limited access. Just send a message asking for access to the message system.
