Things are moving forward quickly toward our Hamfest (Saturday June 15th, 2013; flyer) and Field Day ( 6/22/13 at 2pm EST to 6/23/13 at 2 pm EST flyer). Jim (WB8RRR) is heading up the Hamfest and will be asking for help for setup, parking, cooking, workers, and tear down. Contact Jim to help (513) 831-6255. Chris Spiess (AE8OH) is the chairperson for Field Day, he will be sending out a request for equipment and help for Field Day soon.
The next meeting on May 7 will be back at our regular location (Faith Church on Price Rd), testing at 6pm and meeting beginning at 7:30pm. The presentation for May will be by Brendan Beresford (KD8RAP) on “Working Satellites; hardware and software”. This topic has never been covered, so it should be very interesting.
We are making further improvements to www.w8mrc.com by Steve Friebele (K8JI) this month. We are now able to book licensure candidates “On line” to capture who is coming and their contact information. We are also putting the final touches on accepting PayPal for club payments on our website for membership, social events and donations. This will provide a convenient alternative for payments to the club. We will still accept checks (by mail and in person) and cash (in person). Our website IS and continues to be the main communication vehicle for the club.
We have a responsibility change voted at the last meeting, Andrew Rohne (KE8P) will be taking on the “membership” function as part of the club Secretary office. Andrew will be maintaining the “membership” list”, collecting dues and publishing club notifications to the membership.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at May’s meeting!
