[HCRA] October Zero Beat is on the web!

[Jim Mullen]

Hi everyone,

The October issue of Zero Beat is on the web and in the mail. Can't wait for
your USPS copy? Click this link: http://www.hcra.org/zerobeat/oct06.pdf and
download and read it right now.

Let's say hello to our new editor, Larry - WB1DBY. Larry volunteered to
rejoin the HCRA board as editor allowing Eric - KB1JVI to move over into the
vacant membership position. Larry brings along a new layout for ZB also. I'm
sure you will see even more changes in the coming months. If you have any
articles at all please send them off to Larry for inclusion in future
editions.

We wish the best of luck to both Larry and Eric in their new positions.

This month's guest speaker is none other than Chuck Wyrick, N1UC. Chuck is
the manager of HRO (the candy store) in Salem, NH and is also an active ham
extraordinaire. Join N1UC for an interesting evening of what's new, what's
good, and what's happening in the world of ham radio.

Next month (November) brings up the annual HCRA auction. The auction is
HCRA's fun event of the year, usually attended by well over 100 folks
bringing or looking for a bargain. We are also looking for donations to the
auction, these donations allow us to keep providing great events for the
membership. We have already had two very nice donations to date. Gary, AA1UE
gave me an entire SUV full of stuff at the last meeting and Rocky's gave me
a couple of boxes of old radios found in a house that was being cleaned out.
Do you have anything you would like to donate? We will even pick it up! Call
Jim (that's me!) at 413-245-3228 and arrange for relief from your junque.

The raffle prize at the auction will be an Icom IC-718, HF base station. For
as little as a $1 ticket (a book of 6 for $5) you could be the winner.
Tickets will be on sale at the October meeting as well as on auction night.
There is a limited number so get yours early.

Enjoy your hobby - see you at the next meeting,

Jim, KK1W
