 Hello all ,
The Next TMRA Event will be the July Fox Hunt, I have added info on that event below.
 I hope that everyone has a safe and enjoyable 4th of July Holiday. For me it means a week of Vacation. If your traveling over this next week please be sure to drive safely.
 Don’t forget that at the July meeting Rob/KV8P, will be hosting the Tape Measure Antenna Build. Then on July 28th there will be a chance to use those new Antennas, at the July FOX HUNT. With over 20 kits sold we hope the July Fox Hunt will have great turn out.
Have a great, safe holiday week.

FOX HUNT

 The next scheduled Fox Hunt will follow the July ARES Meeting.
It will start around 1030am. The rally point will be in the North East Parking Lot of St.Lukes Hospital in Maumee. There will be Elmers on Hand to help get you started. If this is your first Fox Hunt, we will team you up with an experienced Member to help guide you through the event. The Hunt is set up with a Net Control style station on the 147.270 Repeater (+600/103.5 PL) to guide general info and traffic. The Fox Station Transmits on 145.555 (Simplex, no offset or PL Tone) at variable power levels. Ron/N8RLH runs this event and makes sure its  fun  for both new and experienced Fox Hunters alike.
 This will be an excellent chance to try out those new Tape Measure Antennas, that were built at the July TMRA meeting. 
The Fox Hunt is held after the ARES Meeting and is open to ALL Radio Amateurs.
For more info on the Fox Hunt contact Ron/N8RLH by e-mail at n8rlh at arrl.net 

Thanks to Ron/N8RLH and his team for running the Fox Hunt.

NOTE #1

*****Tech Committee Advisory***** 

224.140(-) Information:  The 224.140 repeater is currently "off the air".  The technical committee recently made the decision to temporarily utilize the feed line for the 224.140 repeater for a temporary 147.270 antenna just while the new antennas are being raised.  We expect the 147.270 repeater to be on this feed line and antenna, and for 224.140 to be off the air, just until the new 147.270 antenna is in place (Currently scheduled for June 9th, weather pending). 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

NOTE #2
