Beautiful evening for a meeting. Our main speaker was Rich Tatman, who manages the California leg of the annual Pony Express re-ride. Rich shared some history of the ride and encouraged us to help by using our communication skills. We also voted to return back to the Morman Emigrant Trail location for ARRL Field Day this June. JR, K6LBP presented a new 220 radio to Rob, N6RMJ. Rob was our 220 Use-It-Or-Lose-It net winner for March. See everyone next month.
A good turnout for the March meeting. We had the regular crowd and few people on Zoom. A couple of visitors decided to join us as well. Our 220 Use It or Lose It net winner was James KM6PHO JR presented him with his new 220 Radio. James then gave the radio to one of our YL's. The presentation was given by JR KB6LBP and his wife, Karleen. JR and his Karleen showed us how JR got his shack out of the kitchen corner and into a new location with room to expand.
We had another fun meeting in February. We had a good turnout, and some new visitors joined us. Our speaker for the evening was Karin, KD4DXX from RT Systems. She showed us the versatility RT Systems radio programing software. They have software for programming over 600 radios.
JR, K6LBP also presented the 220 Use-It-Or-Lose-It Net winner Greg, KM6YKT with a new radio. Congratulations!
We also set the date for our holiday dinner. We will have our yearly celebration on November 18th.
We had another successful Discovery of Gold, Winter Field Day and Parks on the Air event at Coloma. There were lots of visitors on Saturday and had a good turn out of visitors. Other than being a little cold the weather was good too.
