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!
October 13, 1933
The 12th regular meeting of the C.A.R.A. was called to order by Vice Pres. McLean at 8:45 p.m.
The report of the Secty. was read and accepted.
Pres. LaBarr arriving late took over the meeting and advised the club that Treas. Marcoux would be unable to continue his regular duties and wished for either an assistant or to have the club accept his resignation. Discussion. It was decided to elect a temporary Treas. to become permanent on receipt of formal resignation by Mr. Marcoux.
Robt. Reid was nominated by J. D. McLean. Nominations closed. Elected by unanimous vote.
The remainder of the meeting was devoted to discussion and advisability of having a regular code class and theory class each meeting night.
Mr. Blanke suggested a theory class each meeting night to be held after regular meeting for those who wished to prepare for an amateur license. Mr. Blanke was appointed by Pres. LaBarr to conduct a series of 10 lectures on theory after regular meetings.
Mr. Strickland having notified the club of his inability to serve effectively as the publicity committee. J. D. McLean was appointed to fill the vacancy until elections in Jan.

should be no more complex than a 1000D to OPERATE. It's very much like a complex software package with many "tabs" in the "options" dialog box. There are a zillion neat features you can tweak to your wishes.
I recently read a comparison of the hot new Icom IC-756PRO in which the review said that the PRO had every toy he could dream of... but the 1000MP had every TOOL he needed as a contester. With used MP's going for $1000 less than the PRO, it's an attractive alternative.
For Sale:
MFJ Multi-band antenna for sale.
MFJ-1796, 40-6 Meter capacitively loaded, vertical antenna for sale. Practically new; most parts still partially assembled. Reason for sale: just too big for apt. space available. Asking $130.

The Japanese hams take a lot of pride in their QSL cards. This nice looking card is from Kenichi, JG2MQM and features a picture of Ken in Tiedo, Spain. Thanks to Leo, WA1HAM, for lending this QSL to the Newsletter. Kenichi worked Leo in February, 1999 on 15 meter sideband using a Kenwood TS-850 and a 5 element beam.

The Circuit is in need of QSL cards!!! If you would like to share your favorite QSL card, which could be your own, with the club, please send it my way!
A caption or story would be appreciated also.
Don't let not having a scanner keep you from sending in your favorite card. Many FARA Members have access to scanners, including Bob, W1RH.
