Lifewalk is coming up on Sunday, Oct. 6th, 2019. Bring your friends! This is an especially good event if you know a new ham who hasn’t yet gotten active on the air—it’s an easy way to get started.
Our next club meeting is coming up on Tuesday, October 1st, 2019. Jeff Steinman, N5TJ, will present on antennas for small spaces and HOA restricted yards.
The contest calendar has only a couple of notable events, the CQ WW DX contest RTTY event, and the Maine QSO party. To my mind, though, the biggest on-air event this weekend isn’t on the contest calendar: it’s the WWV 100th Anniversary special event.

You won’t forget…because I’ll keep reminding you. Lifewalk is coming up on Sunday, Oct. 6th, 2019. This is an easy event you can use to begin your public service career, or a fun chance to see your friends and keep up your public service skills.
And our next Lecture and Lab is coming up on Saturday, September 28th. Bring $10.00, and you’ll get the Wemos D1 Mini, KY-001 DS18B20 temperature-only sensor, breadboard, jumpers, servo, potentiometer, LEDs & resistors, and a USB micro cable. This will be part 1 of a 2-part Lecture and Lab, but don’t worry: you can attend either session or both.
There are tons of contest and operating opportunities this weekend. Go ahead and click to read more. You want to!
