Next Meeting — May 6th — On-Line

Topic: To Be Announced

Presenter: To Be Announced

Time: 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (please allow for computer setup time)

Location: Web Meeting —>> Registration information to follow

Elmer’s Corner Q&A Program

April’s Focus: Since this is a web meeting, there will not be an Elmer’s corner. Hopefully we will be able to restart in May.

Pre-Meeting Free Fest

Since this is a web meeting, there will not be a Free Fest.

Part of being a Ham is sharing our "Goodies" with other Hams. Over the years we have all collected items we think we "need" to make our Ham Shack complete.

Guidelines so members know what the expectations are for bringing in items.

•  All items are free. No conditions.

•  No guarantees, as is, you get what you get.

•  All items must fit in a tote.

•  Limit one tote per member.

•  All totes must have the owner’s name/call sign on it.

•  Larger items, can just have a flyer on the table with contact info to arrange for pickup?

Any leftover items must be taken by the original owners.

Information from Past Meetings

Slides and other information is shared for club and personal use. Any other uses must receive permission from the speakers.
