President’s Message September 2022

President's MessageBy Benton Jackson09/19/2022Leave a comment

September is our election month. Every year, we reelect board members and/or elect new ones. This is your chance to take part in the future of Maple Grove Radio Club. We encourage board members to take an active part in committees, but the most important requirement is to show up at the monthly board meetings…

Last month was the MS Ride Across MN, in the iron range area. I’m sure Dave Englund, our Editor, will include pictures of his first experience being a driver for an MS event. Thank you Dave, and to everyone who helped. HF Band conditions continue to improve. Now is the time to get your General…

President’s Message July 2022

It was great seeing everybody at Field Day. It was also a pleasure to see how well we worked together at setting up and taking down the tents, antennas, and stations. I’d like to give special thanks to Carolyn and Roy’s hard work and leadership. And to Ruth and Jim for providing food. It was…

President’s Message June 2022

President's MessageBy Benton Jackson06/03/2022Leave a comment

We had our second in-person meeting at the Chester Bird post, and I think it went much better this time with the sound system the post provides. Michael Martens, KB9VBR, gave a great presentation on NVIS antennas. I would like to thank Dallas O’Dell for his stint as newsletter editor. You’ve done a great job,…

President’s Message April 2022

President's MessageBy Benton Jackson04/04/2022Leave a comment

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…

President’s Message March 2022

President's MessageBy Benton Jackson03/01/2022Leave a comment

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…

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

President's MessageBy Benton Jackson01/04/2022Leave a comment

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

President's MessageBy Benton Jackson12/07/2021Leave a comment

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…
