FARA - The Early Years
Transcribed by Karen Hess

The Framingham Amateur Radio Association, formerly called the Community Radio Association, is fortunate to have the notes dating back to the Club's first meeting.  Karen Hess, W1RH's XYL, has transcribed the hand written notes, verbatim, and they will appear in this and future issues of the Circuit.  They make for fascinating reading!

June 9, 1933

The 10^th regular meeting of the C.A.R.A. was called to order at 9 p.m. by Pres. LaBarr.
The report of the Secty. was read and accepted.
Due to the small attendance no further vote was taken on suspension of meetings for summer after next meeting.
It was agreed by unanimous vote not to have any speaker at the next regular meeting and devote said meeting to business and open discussion.
An invitation from the First Corps Area Radio Club to attend their  "ham fest" on Monday was extended thru their Secty.
No further business being before the club the meeting was adjourned.
Following the business session an excellent talk on 5 meter operation during the eclipse was given by Theo Valpry W1ATP of Medway, Mass.  Mr. Valpry also submitted a diagram of an excellent 2 tube 5 meter receiver.
Resp. submitted
