I believe the program after the meting will be a display and Q & A session on several different radios that club members use. Feel free to bring a radio you think others would be interested in seeing and hearing about. A last reminder that dues for 2023 are past due and may be paid at the meeting or mailed to the club PO box.

With this we have gathered up many different models of radios for viewing and asking any questions. The hopes with this is to have radios for people to see and touch in person. This should be very informative as we don?t have any amateur radio supply stores near by. I myself do hope that individuals that have gotten licensed in the last few years take the time to stop by and view these radios. May help you make a decision on a radio on down the road. Also, please do not think you need to be a club member to show up to this activity. Please stop by and look either way. I coordinated with Dave (WA9GBC) to have the Red Cross building open at 5pm local to start carrying radios in. Please come early if you can to take a look, as after the meeting most people will be wanting to pack up and head home. Below is a list of who is bringing what radios. Please pass this word along and invite others. W9AWE - Elecraft K3, Icom IC-746pro NR9Q - Yaesu FTDX-101d, Yaesu FT-991a, Yaesu FT2d W9US - Icom IC-7610, Xiegu G90 KE0MHJ - Icom IC-705, Icom IC-7100, Yaesu FT-400XDR KD9VUW - Yaesu FT-450d, Anytone 778uv WM4D - IC-7300, Yaesu FT-891 WB9EWM - Elecraft KX3 W9DP - Flex 6400 (remote) If you would like to bring another radio that is not on this please please let me know at NR9Q at hotmail.com. That or reply letting people know via the reflector. If you don?t want to use the reflector, just email me and I will add you in. Thanks to everyone that is volunteering to take the time to unhook their radios and box them up and bring them in. I know this can be a fair amount of work and is much appreciated. 73 Chris Schulz NR9Q
