[NLRS] 2024, Looking Ahead

[Jon Platt]

Hello NLRS land
With 2023 in our review mirror, here is a condensed view of what is ahead of us for the first half of 2024.  Mark your calendars !   
   - Jan 20/21 ARRL January VHF Contest.  6M and up !
   - Feb 3 Minnesota QSO Party.    Although its a HF activity event, NLRS has taken 1st place in the Minnesota club competition for several years in a row.  Lots of fun on the low bands!
   - Mar 23 MidWinter Madness Hamfest, Buffalo, MN.   NLRS is planning on having a club table at the event, stop by for an eyeball QSO.
   - April 1 144 Spring Sprint, 7pm to 11pm local
   - April 16 222 Spring Sprint, 7pm to 11pm local
   - April 24 432 Spring Sprint, 7pm to 11pm local
   - May 4 902 & Up uW Spring Sprint, 8am to 2pm local along with May 4/5 SBMS 2304 & Up Contest.  A twofer as contacts made on Saturday count for both contests.
   - May 11/12 6m Spring Sprint, 5/11 2300z to 5/12 0300z
   - June 1 Aurora Conference, Plymouth, MN.  
   
   - When: Saturday, June 1, 2024  9:00 am - 5:00 pm (CDT)   

   - Where: West Medicine Lake Community Club, 1705 Forestview Lane North, Plymouth, MN 55441   

   - We are always looking for 15" to 30" presentations for the afternoon session.  Aurora is a good practice session for those headed to other conferences later in the year too like CSVHFS or the EME conference that is in NJ this August.   Drop me a note if you have an idea that you want to present.
   
   - June 8/9 ARRL June VHF Contest.  6m and up !   
   - July 26/27 Central States VHF Society Conference.  Cedar Rapids, IA.  The conference doesn't get much closer to NLRS land than this.  Details to follow.  
   - July 20/21 CQWW VHF Contest.  6 and 2m only, but still a fun event with good activity that supports the old rover rules too.
