Field Day Equipment Test / June ARES Meeting

June 10, 2008 - We will be testing our equipment at our Field Day Locaton (McKey Park Shelter #2) on Saturday, June 21st, the Saturday before Field Day 2008.  We will begin at 8:00am sharp, and will be doing equipment setups, and testing the computer logging system to make sure everything will be go for our main operation on June 28 and 29.  During this test session we will also discuss our ARES related topics and consider this our ARES meeting for the month.  This will mean we will have 2 meetings rather close to each other, but that should work out just fine!

Club Dues

We are still in need of members to pay their dues.  Membership dues are there to help with the upkeep of the radio club and equipment.  Once our treasurer has a PayPal account linked to the club's checking account, we will attempt to accept dues payments from this website.  There are new features coming with this website for club members, and these features will be turned on/off according to a member’s status as far as dues paid are concerned.
