We are a month away from our first meeting of the 2015/2016 meeting season. Larry (W1AST) has a great meeting planned, and the rest of the year looks very interesting. Along with our meeting, it is almost time for me to start putting together the September issue of Zero Beat. If anyone has pictures or stories of field day, projects, or any other radio activities, they would like to share it would be appreciated. You can send them to: wa1mow at arrl.net or gary.fields at northcomm.net Have a great rest of the summer! 73's Gary WA1MOW From nt1k at nt1k.com Thu Aug 13 07:21:58 2015 From: nt1k at nt1k.com (Jeffrey Bail - NT1K) Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2015 07:21:58 -0400 Subject: [HCRA] How's your summer going? HCRA welcomes you back to another season! Message-ID: It's getting near the summer and hopefully it's going well. I just want to inform you that another season of HCRA is right around the corner. Larry (W1AST) has been hard at work obtaining guest speakers for the upcoming season. The guest speaker for the first meeting of the season on Friday, September 4th will be Fred Stefanick (N1DPM). He will be discussing EME communications and how you don't necessarily need a massive array of antennas to make it possible. We will also have a quick re-cap of Field Day and some other business. It's also that time of the year again for membership renewals. Our online system for renewals only is open for anyone that would like to use either their paypal account or their credit card if they would like to renew online. http://www.hcra.org/membership-payment/ Or you can download, and mail in the application http://www.hcra.org/files/HCRAApplicationForm2013.pdf We also have our annual 250 ticket raffle going on. This year we've stepped it up a bit. We're raffling off a Kenwood TS-590SG HF-6M 100w base station rig (retails $1700). It's a very excellent rig that rivals radios that are double the price. It could be possibly yours for just $10 which goes to help out HCRA. Stay tuned... - Jeffrey Bail (NT1K) HCRA President From gary.fields at northcomm.net Sun Aug 30 19:20:40 2015 From: gary.fields at northcomm.net (gary.fields at northcomm.net) Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2015 16:20:40 -0700 Subject: [HCRA] Septembers Zero Beat and Meeting Message-ID: <20150830162040.68344e51f585b039bd2b53b84027beca.306e3afed6.wbe@email13.secureserver.net> Hope everyone had a great Summer!
