A lot of great events are coming up, make sure they are on your calendar so you can volunteer for them.
Coming up soon is our activation of W1AW/0 on Aug 4th, from 17:00 to 19:00. Aaron Lewis, W0ADL, is leading the charge on this. If you’d like to get on the air from our shack, let Aaron know. If you can’t do that, but want to get W1AW/0 in your log, we’ll be on 20m, 10m, 2m 146.550, and 70cm 446 at various times during that period. We’ll also be on digital simplex, 17:30-18:00 DMR on 145.79, 18:00-18:30 D-STAR on 145.610, and 18:30-19:00 C4FM on 145.630.
The antique car run will be on Aug 12th this year. We help escort really old cars from New London to New Brighton, and call in help in the unlikely event they break down. All you need is a mobile radio in your car. Contact Zach if you’re interested in helping. The Antique Car Club really appreciates our help.
Next month is the Osseo Lions Parade, on September 9th. And on October 1st, we help with the Twin Cities Marathon. The marathon is an all-hams-on-deck, we need people spaced out every mile to make sure problems get called in.
One more bit of good news- the Buffalo Civic Center has delayed the resurfacing of the floor of the arena, so we have another year to find an alternate location for Midwinter Madness.
That’s all for this month.
