[K4RY] AUARC Meeting Tonight at 6:30pm

[Christopher Hathcock]

We are meeting as usual tonight in Broun 235 at 6:30pm.

We made several contacts in the ARRL School Club Roundup on 10m and 40m, including a college in Baltimore. SueAnne made our first DX contact, reaching Henry (DL8YBM) in Marl, Germany on 10m, so congratulations to her. We didn't make very many contacts and probably won't rank very high (SueAnne tells me we're at 39 points), but we got on the air and had fun and that's really what's important.

Here's the agenda for this meeting:
- Discuss and have elections. I forgot to announce them at the previous meeting but I mentioned it in the last email.
- Volunteering to teach the radio merit badge on March 1st. AUARC doesn't have any service hour requirements so it's optional for you to volunteer. There's some more information in the email I forwarded to the reflector but we'll cover it at the meeting.
- Getting new QSL cards printed since the only ones we've got left are some extra W1E cards.
- We'd also like to either frame and hang up the existing ones or keep them in a photo album to protect them.
- I talked to Cheryl regarding radio testing sessions. They don't have any scheduled yet but are happy to run one for us. If you don't have a license or would like to upgrade your license, this is a great opportunity. Please let me know what evenings work for you and we'll try and schedule a day that works for everyone. I'd like to schedule it in one or two weeks so you guys have time to study.
- Dr. Hung recommended that we organize some study sessions for the exam. I think that's a great idea so let me know what days work for you and what exams you'd like to study for.

If you guys have any questions or want me to bring up something at the meeting let me know.
