It’s time for ham radio clubs to move away from the PDF based newsletter as a primary publishing format.

The purpose of this post is to help amateur radio clubs and organizations get their content in front of more hams.

Some estimates show that nearly two-thirds of Americans don’t have a plan. For some, it’s procrastination. Others don’t know where to start. “So many times we hear from the family of a Silent Key who are overwhelmed with what to do with a lifetime worth of amateur radio gear,” said ARRL Director of Development Kevin Beal, K8EAL. “Simply thinking through what needs to be done ahead of time can prevent the stress on our loved ones after we are gone.”

Because of last summer’s very successful outdoor antenna event, we are having a Bring Your Rig To The Park event for our next club meeting, from 5–8:30 PM on Tuesday, July 16, at Sabin, MN, City Park

Ice cream and pie are involved, so we’ll need a head count. Please RSVP to the if you will be attending.

The July RRRA Meeting is your opportunity to get out and experience portable operations rather than sit through yet another slide presentation.

Enjoy an interactive experience, eyeball QSOs, and some dessert; no club business will be be discusssed at this meeting!
