DARA Oct 7 General Membership Meeting
The October DARA Membership Meeting will take place this coming Friday, October 7, 2022, at the Greene County Fairgrounds and Expo Center, 120 Fairgrounds Rd, Xenia Ohio, in the Mercantile Building (our usual meeting place). The meeting will start at 7:00pm. We will be meeting in-person and on Zoom for those unable to attend.
We have a special guest speaker for this meeting that I think will definitely hold your attention and provide you with a lot of information. I have heard him speak several times, he is an excellent speaker, excited about our hobby and extremely informative. Our speaker will be David Minster NA2AA,he is the Chief Executive Officer and the Secretary of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL). I am sure you have read his articles in QST and have heard him speak at Hamvention® and maybe met him at one of the many hamfests he attends. He will be updating us on improvements at ARRL and his view of the future of amateur radio. Be sure to come to this meeting as David will be here in-person to meet with us.
