>New Feature Begins In April QST
>
>No fooling.  The April issue of QST marks the inauguration of a new 
>semi-monthly two-page article for less experienced readers, Getting to 
>Know your Radio, by Joel Hallas, W1ZR.
>The series is designed to acquaint new hams with the operation of some of 
>the more obscure functions and features of modern radio equipment.  Author 
>and ARRL Product Review Editor Joel Hallas, W1ZR, says the column 
>"basically talks about what all those knobs do" on modern equipment. "The 
>idea is to acquaint users with the typical features of modern 
>radios."  This month's topic--Passband Tuning.
>
>Make Field Day Plans Now
>
>Now is a good time to start thinking about ARRL Field Day.  Always the 
>last full weekend in June, this year the event is June 25 & 26.  It’s 
>never too early to start planning.
>
>Field Day is by far one of the largest on air activities that hams 
>participate in.  It is also the number one club activity among ARRL 
>Affiliated Clubs.  It is no wonder that this is so when you look at all 
>the many ways that you can have fun with Field Day.  Some groups go at it 
>as if it were a big contest while others take it to the wilderness.
>
>While emergency preparedness is the focus of the event many clubs and 
>groups use Field Day to solidify social bonds.  Field Day becomes a huge 
>cookout, camping trip and radio event rolled into one.
>
>Make sure that your club is familiar with the new rule changes and bonus 
>points.
