[OFARC] Reminder Oak Forest Amateur Radio Club meeting this Saturday October 26, 2019

[Mark]

To:  All current, recent and prospective Amateur Radio Operators

From: Mark WB5ANN

 

You are invited to the Oak Forest Amateur Radio Club meeting this Saturday
October 26, 2019 at the Transtar building on Old Katy Rd in Houston.  This
is our regular monthly club meeting.  This is an opportunity to meet up with
other hams and get support for radio programming, general information and
getting on and staying on the air.  

 

Walk-ins are accepted for all license classes if you are testing or want to
upgrade.  Time permitting, we plan to operate from the Transtar radio room.
This month there are several radio expeditions (DXpeditions) going on and we
might try to make a contact with the Pitcairn Island DX group which is
operating until November 1.  For the geographically challenged, Pitcairn is
located in the south Pacific east of Tahiti and was the final destination of
the Bounty.  Lat -25.066, Lon -130.10, just a mere 4,440 miles from Houston.
In addition, we will try and run some digital modes which we did not have
time to run last month.
