President’s Message February 2022

President's MessageBy Benton Jackson02/01/2022Leave a comment

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…

President’s Message January 2022

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”…

President’s Message December 2021

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…

President’s Message November 2021

President's MessageBy Benton Jackson11/02/2021Leave a comment

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…

President’s Message October 2021

President's MessageBy Benton Jackson10/05/2021Leave a comment

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…

President’s Message Sept 2021

President's MessageBy Benton Jackson09/07/2021Leave a comment

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…

President’s Message Aug 2021

President's MessageBy Benton Jackson08/01/2021Leave a comment

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,…

President’s Message July 2021

President's MessageBy Benton Jackson07/06/2021Leave a comment

Maple Grove Radio Club had a great month in June. I’d like to thank everybody who helped with communications with the BikeMS-150, Grandma’s Marathon, and most importantly with Field Day. The scores for Field Day have not been calculated, but in terms of what was important, it was a big win for us. Although the…

President’s Message June 2021

President's MessageBy Benton Jackson05/30/2021Leave a comment

We’re finally getting back into the swing of things with two great ham radio events this month, and more coming up. First off is the BikeMS-150. Normally, this is a two-day event from Duluth to White Bear Lake. This year it’s shortened to just one day, on June 12th. We are still looking for a…

President’s Message May 2021

President's MessageBy Benton Jackson05/08/2021Leave a comment

I just spent a pleasant day working in the garden, something I really enjoy doing in the spring. Seeing everything come alive after a long winter is inspiring. And it seems Maple Grove Radio Club, ham radio, and our whole community is coming alive after a very long winter of Covid. If people continue to…
