Don’t forget, our next club meeting is coming up this Tuesday. Come on out! You’ll get to hear Bob Coelln, KG5JL talk about coax and connectors.

There is one well-known contest in progress this weekend: the 10-10 International SSB QSO Party. There’s also a neat event for those interested in the first voice mode, AM: an AM Rally! The event runs until 07:00 UTC Monday.
