Hello all ,
Thanks you to all who made it out to Maumee Bay State Park for yesterdays Event. It looks like we had 25 Members and guests total on Team W8H. We started Transmitting at 10:00 and shut things down just after 14:00. IT WAS WINDY!!!! I checked the Anemometer this morning, and the peak Wind speed measured yesterday was 32.1mph. I spoke to Toby and he indicated that our total QSOs were an estimated 125. That averages out to about 1 every two minutes. Not to shabby at all. Look for a more complete re-cap at the meeting on Wednesday.
Speaking of the Meeting, there will be TWO Meetings this week. On Monday night is the Tech Committee Meeting at 7 pm at Fire Station 2 in Maumee. On Wednesday Night will be the TMRA General Meeting out at the Electrical Services Building in Rossford. There is a special Guest on Wednesday, Jim/K8MR will be in town for a presentation on Mobile Contesting. He will have his Mobile Unit on display in the parking lot prior to the meeting.
In October the TMRA will host Dr. Bob Heil for a Live Remote Presentation.
These should both be excellent presentations.
The TMRA has announced the Fall Technicians Class dates. See below for all the details.
