The Metro Amateur-Radio Club will participate in Amateur Radio Military 
Appreciation Day on May 27 at the Lincolnwood Town Center, the shopping center at 
Touhy Avenue and McCormick Boulevard. They will be located on the second floor 
near the back entrance, convenient to the Food Court and the large parking lot 
from 10 a.m. when the Center stores open until about 4:00 p.m., longer if 
conditions warrant. Primary contacts here will be made by echolink. MAC is the 
only listed club in Illinois which is participating in this event.

Hams participating will give passersby opportunity to express their thanks to 
military personnel via ham radio. This will promote ham radio as well as 
offering appreciation to our troops. Copies of the ARRL "Hello" brochure will be 
available for interested persons.

Primary echolink nodes will be 6154, 267069, and 147585. IRLP nodes are 9258 
and 9450. HF frequencies are 7.230 and 14.330
