Came across an interesting article about getting into amateur radio. Not a long article: San Juan County ham radio club has fun and helps community – Farmington Daily Times

*********************
If you missed last nights meeting we had a special guest. RAC Club Liaison Karla (VA7KJW) received input from several members on the pros and cons of belonging to RAC. Karla will join us again in the fall for further input and let us know how RAC is progressing.

*********************
Last night we discussed how plans are going with a digital HF radio. Dave (VE7PKE) is looking into some alternatives to a Flex radio. He will report back when he has some more info to pass along.

*********************
Jeanne reported last night that we have quite an extensive list of prizes for Burger And Brew on April 25. Still have plenty of tickets, let Jeanne or Os know and they will put your name(s) on them.

********************
Further to suggestions made by members on our recent survey Chris has added a local repeater listing. Chris has also changed the paged titled “links” to “Useful Resources” This was done as some members were suggesting various resources we should have on the site and they were there all along under “links.” The feeling is the term “links” is an old term now and people don’t pay attention to it. Were hoping “Useful Resources” will grab your attention to have a look to see what is available.

********************
Have a great week everyone and don’t forget if you can spare some time on April 20 for the triathlon email Darrel.
