Howdy DXers,
I am sorry for disappearing for a few weeks. I have been spending
an enormous amount of time on my dad's estate, working with CPAs,
attorneys, banks and my 2 brothers (heirs) to work out the
distributions.
I have some great news as a result! We were able to distribute
the funds except for 20k to cover CPA fees, attorney fees, and
estate income taxes. This means I can start actively looking for
a new QTH that is "Ham Friendly!" This is a huge burden lifted
from me.
Unfortunately, my duties with SFDXA have suffered an I apologize.
Let's pick up where we left off!
As I announced in mid March, to our great
delight, we are meeting again at the Florida Medical Center
Auditorium. This location has been our official meeting location
for many years and we also have our club station located there.
We lost the privilege of meeting there when Covid-19 showed up!
There were NO GATHERINGS mandated and, of course, we had to
comply! During the 3 years between then and now, we met at
restaurants and later at the QTH of member Fred WB4BAG, also known
as the DCARC club station. We are very thankful for Fred's
graciousness in opening his facility to have our meetings there.
We are also very grateful for Doreen Jamison's efforts in helping
us return the club to the FMC facility.
When you arrive you will need to show photo ID at the front
security desk. Upon entering, proceed to the main hall and turn
right. After turning right, the Auditorium is at the end of the
hall on the right.
I would like to encourage as many as possible to make the
meeting IN-PERSON if possible.
Unfortunately, the cafeteria is closed at meeting time, so there
will be no food at the meeting. This was a cost cutting move by
the new owners.
All are WELCOME!
We will continue the meetings on Zoom as well,
although discussion has been made to drop Zoom in favor of only
IN-PERSON meetings, with Zoom only being used to bring in out of
town speakers.
The meeting details are:
Location:
Florida Medical Center
5000 West Oakland Park Blvd
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33313
Date and Time: July 10, 2024 7:00 PM
The Networking session starts at 7:00 PM (or whenever you get
here)
The "Official" meeting starts at 7:33 PM as usual
If you can't make it in-person, the Zoom credentials are below!
I look forward to seeing as many as possible either in-person or
on Zoom!
(I still encourage everyone to meet IN-PERSON if possible!)
😉
Very 73,
Randy N4QV
