I made the proposed changes, and in late July, the Board of Directors 
reviewed the changes,and voted to present them to the general membership 
for further review.

Please review the Bylaws document marked-up with changes on the website

  Seminar: Managing 12 Volts – Power Supplies, Batteries, Wiring , and
  Connectors – Sept. 28th

*Another informative seminar for DVRA members!*

There’s a lot to learn in the hobby of Amateur Radio, but one of the 
first considerations should be how to power your mobile equipment safely.

This hands-on workshop will be packed with information. Topics such as 
battery types, wire size, and distribution panels will be discussed plus 
a whole lot more.

There will also be a demonstration on how to properly install Anderson 
Powerpoles and other connectors. Participants can bring their own radio 
power cables and learn to install connectors on their own equipment.

For questions or more information please contact Gary, K2GW at 
k2gw at optonline.net


  DVRA IARU-Style Fox Hunt Report – 9/1/2024

Welcome Jerome, N2JOV, to our fox hunting group!

Congratulations Jean, AD2EK, on finding all the foxes!

Veterans Park in Hamilton has been our venue of choice for the 
IARU-Style on-foot fox hunts this year.  I wondered if anyone would show 
up on this rainy Labor Day Sunday.  Happily, at 8:30, folks arrived, and 
the light rain stopped.  In total, six fox hunters participated.
