Thanks everybody who volunteered for the Twin Cities Marathon. This is the biggest ham radio public service event of the year in the metro. Although it was cancelled, we were ready to go. I would like to give a big shoutout to Stephen Cullen, KF0AED. He volunteered to assist organizing Net 1, but we didn’t have anybody else so we put him in charge, and he rose to the occasion.
Our other big volunteer event was the Osseo Lions Roar Parade. As usual, we did a great job. Jim and Ruth get better at this every year, and it goes more smoothly each time.
The 2023 ARRL Minnesota State Convention is just around the corner. Although the early bird pricing has ended, you still have time to register. Don’t miss it!
Gordon Patenaude, WA0WSR, Clay Bartholow, W0LED, and Paul Gilsdorf, KF0GEX, continue to teach our Labs class every month, and it’s getting very popular. They are currently studying SWR and feed lines, which will continue on Monday Oct 2nd. Contact Gordon to get in on the class.
Get the word out, our General License Class will be on Monday evenings starting October 9th, for about 10 weeks. Contact me if you’d like to upgrade your tech license or would just like a review. We can also use help teaching, so if there’s a particular topic you’d like to teach let me know. The best way to learn something is to teach it! I’ll be sending out a syllabus with the schedule of topics soon.
