Hello All!

The next NORAC club meeting will be held on September 19, 2019 at 7:30 PM at the People Place.

This will be the first club meeting after the summer hiatus.

Some club members will meet for dinner at Boston Pizza before the meeting (as early as 5 PM).

After the meeting, some club members will QSY over to Denny's.

Along with regular club business, this meeting will also include some information on upcoming service opportunities (JOTA, CRA Rallies (Pacific Forest Rally and Big White Winter Rally) and an upcoming marathon in Kelowna). We will also give an update on PiEGO, IRLP and APRS-iGate projects.

Hope to see you all there,
Mike VE7KPZ
NORAC Vice-President 2017-2019

Karl and Fern are open to having 6-10 folks over to work on the KX2 + SPE Expert amp combo and the hex beam. 20m will be easy... but if we need to move to 40m or 80m, there will be some work to do to get the OCF dipole tuned up.
