Members of the Red River Radio Amateurs will be participating in the national Amateur Radio Field Day exercise, June 22nd and 23rd, at the Cass County Highway Department Building, 1201 W Main Ave, West Fargo, ND. Since 1933, ham radio operators across North America have established temporary ham radio stations in public locations during Field Day to showcase the science and skill of Amateur Radio. This event is open to the public and all are encouraged to attend.

• Meeting called to order by Seth KD0ODE at 19:05
• Introduction of members, 40 present
