Wow, it’s September already? Where did the summer go.
Thanks everybody who helped at the W1AW/0 activation, the antique car run, and the Ojibwe forest rally last month.
We still have a couple events left to go for this season. We always need more people to help at the Osseo Lions Roar Parade next Saturday, Sept 9th. It’s a great way to see a parade, and the Lions always appreciate our work.
October 1st is the Twin Cities Marathon. All you need is a handheld transceiver and maybe a chair. We are stationed along the route and call in the progress of the race and any events that happen. This year we have another job assigned to us- they want a complete roster of those who are on the SAG buses. Hopefully this should reduce the number of runners unaccounted for.
If you haven’t signed up for it, the 2023 ARRL Minnesota State Convention is sure to be worth your time, with seminars on a lot of diverse ham radio topics. Space is limited, so be sure to sign up early. http://mnconvention.org/
Gordy and I had a tremendous opportunity to represent amateur radio to the public safety communications community at the MN-ECN COMMEX. Read my article about it elsewhere in this newsletter.
