[LeArc] Club Reminders

[Jesse Risley]

Just a few reminders/notes from the meeting Tuesday evening:

1.  Local amateur radio operators have been requested to participated in the 2007 Boy Scouts Association Disaster Training event to be held from 8:30am-4:00pm on Saturday, April 14th at Macomb High School (there will be a one hour break for lunch - and you must bring a sack lunch).

The specific topics they are looking for are us to present focus on communications during an emergency and some instruction on Morse code.  While the Boy Scouts are aware that CW is no longer an entrance requirement for amateur radio, they would still like the boys to see and use a stenograph - it helps them complete an advancement requirement and it's important history they should learn.

We have two volunteers already, but a few more would be nice too!  If you are willing and able to help show up at MHS Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m.

2. Net assignments are as follows:
    04/15 - Josh, KC9AHI
    04/22 - Brandon, KC9ILN
    04/29 - Ken, KC9ERB
    05/06 - Jesse, K9JLR

3.  A big thanks to Joe, AG9Y for the demonstration and presentation on the new Motorolla - State of Illinois STARCOM 21 APCO 25 digital radio system, which is set to go live in this area between 05/09 and 05/16.  

Jesse, K9JLR
