[NLRS] Aurora 2009

[W0ZQ at aol.com]

Hello NLRS land.   

Aurora 2009 will be held Saturday, May  30, at the First Lutheran Church in 
White Bear Lake.  This is the same spot  that we have held Aurora for the last 
few years but it is a month later  then usual.  

Regarding Aurora, its time to start thinking  about two items.  
 
First is the technical program that typically runs from 1:00 to 4:30  PM.  We 
like to have three to five presentations, and this is where YOU  come in.  If 
you have any ideas about what may make a good presentation, or  if you would 
like to make a presentation yourself, please drop me a note with  your 
thoughts and/or suggestions.  No idea is unworthy of  consideration, and remember, 
this is OUR club, you and me, and its through  sharing of our knowledge and 
experiences that we all get wiser.  So step up  & make a suggestion, or maybe 
think about making a presentation  yourself.  

Second, we are now seeking input for the Wesslund  Award.  Nominations should 
be in text form and submitted to one of the  club officers - N0UK, KC0IYT, or 
myself.  The Wesslund Award states  "The Wesslund Award honors Robert (Bob) 
Wesslund, W0AUS, for his many years of  significant contributions to the 
Northern Lights Radio Society and for his  continuous work with mentoring others in 
the World above 50 MHz.  This  award is presented annually to recognize those 
NLRS members who have assisted  others in gaining knowledge and access to the 
bands above 50 MHz."
 
Aurora 2009 will feature both a VHF/UHF and a uW antenna range, technical  
presentations in the afternoon, a poster session, our normal NLRS business  
meeting, and a high amount of socializing.   Please give  consideration to 
presenting, or, perhaps suggest a topic for someone else  to present.  Last, give 
some thought to making a nomination for the  Wesslund Award.  Make sure to mark 
down May 30 in your calendar.
 
73, Jon
