Anyone available to reach out to him and offer him a ride to/from meetings? He's also buying a Baofeng to get a look again at the local ham radio picture. He'll need some help programming it when he gets it (if you can help with that as well). Jerry is located in the Fallen Timbers area (Monclova/Maumee), from what I understand. If you can offer him a ride to/from, please reach out to him at jerryew at bex.net . I also have a phone number if you'd like to contact me for it. Thanks!

There was quite a bit going on this past week. Chrissy / KC8UFV reports that the Surface Mount Clock Build went well. She said ?Not everyone showed up, and some didn?t finish, but they learned something, and they are confident they can finish on their own.? She still has the Kits for those that ordered and were unable to attend. Thanks to Chrissy for hosting this event and for all she does for our Club. The TMRA General Business meeting was Wednesday, There was a presentation from ICOM. I was sadly unable to attend, but I understand it was a great meeting with EXCELLENT turn out. Steve/KC8TVW hosted A CW Practice session on Saturday Feb 17 at Trilby Church on Secor Road. I have not heard how things went, but based on past sessions, I dare to say it was a great session.

Ham-Fest is the TMRAs primary income source for the year. It?s a working ham-fest for all TMRA members. That doesn?t mean you have to work, or even have to work all day, or both days. Typically we see a group of about 20 or so of the members doing ALL the work at Ham-Fest. WE NEED HELP. If you signs up to help for even an hour, that could mean an hour used to give another member a break. Not all jobs require a lot of hard labor. You could sit and mind a door for 30 minutes, go check out the vendor tables, and then help with the Prize table, or ticket sales for 30 minutes. You cold watch the door and check tickets as our guests come into the fest. (that?s actually a fun job, because you get to meet and say hi to so many people).
