Our Midwinter Madness hamfest was a success. Over 500 attended, and we nearly sold out of tables for vendors. I hope everyone got a chance to be there. Thanks to everyone who volunteered, we couldn’t have done it without you. And a special thanks to Barb and Jerry, they are the glue that holds it…

It looks like we are GO for Midwinter Madness! Covid numbers are falling, vendor registrations are rising, and we have only 19 days to go. Volunteer spots are filling up, we’ll open more up once all the positions are filled with the minimum. It doesn’t hurt to have extra people in each job. The 2022…

I’m writing this on the way to Tofte, where Deb and I are going to be helping with Net Control for the Beargrease Sled Dog race. This is becoming the highlight of my winter now. I hear there is tons of snow up there so they certainly have enough. In fact, they even had to…

I’m sure everybody knows that the Omicron variant is here. There’s a lot of speculation that it is a lot less likely to cause severe disease than Delta. This may be true. But it’s also far more transmissible, and this is flooding the hospitals. It may also be true that this is the “last gasp”…

As I write this, there is snow on the ground. You know what that makes me think of? The Beargrease Sled Dog race! This will be from January 30th to February 2nd. We need lots of volunteers for road crossings, particularly on Sunday, the first day. Contact Gordy, N0ZRD@mnyarc.org, if you’d like more information. We…

Our General Class is well under way, and we’ve had our first in-person “lab” session at Chester Bird. We set up a couple HF stations and were able to make a few contacts. The outdoor seating turned out to be a great place to do it, since it has a canopy to protect our radio…

Thanks everybody who volunteered at the Osseo Lions Roar Parade. The Lions appreciate how smoothly their parade goes when we are there. And we have fun doing it. Also, thanks to everybody who helped with the Twin Cities Marathon. We’ve taken the next step with the TALARC partnership with the Chester Bird Post of The…

We had two great events in August. The Antique Car Run went very well. We even got a message from the organizers- they had heard from a lot of drivers that appreciated the presence of ham radio. They felt great that someone was there watching over them. A lot of us also helped at the…

Thank you volunteers who helped at the Jim Deane Memorial Rice Lake Classic Run. Our help was noticed and appreciated, and we’ve already been asked back for next year. Good job, everybody! Several of us also went down to Austin, MN to help with the BikeMS Ride Across MN. We had people in net control,…
