The answer to October's trivia question, "Who has license privileges to use 20 meters (14.000 - 14.350 MHZ), the most popular HF band. No novice or technician privileges are afforded at 20 meters. The general segments of the band occur at 14.025 - 14.150 and 14.225 - 14.350 MHZ. Advanced licensees have access to 14.025 - 14.150 and 14.175 - 14.350 MHZ and Extra Amateurs have access to the entire band.
Joe callahan - NØQAU - filled in for secretary, Laurie Heick - KCØNHW - and I really appreciated his assistance. The club discussed holding a class for Level 1 - Technician Rating and/or holding a class for HAMS that hold a Technician Rating to upgrade to Level 2 - General Rating, Joe - NØQAU - and Stan Kittelson - WDØDAJ - will work on when the classes will be held, so if you are interested in these classes contact Joe or Stan.
On October 21st, 2006 (Saturday) the TRARC will have our "Ham Radio Display" set up for the community days at the Prairie Hills Mall, so if you can attend this function, please do so. This is one event that can attract and recruit new people into becoming HAMS.
It's not to early to mark your calendars that on November 25th (last Saturday in November) the TRARC will be having its annual "Christmas Party" at the Elk's Club in Dickinson N.D. We will be discussing our "Christmas Party" at our next meeting.
Our October 2nd meeting was well attended and very enjoyable because I was sure something positive would happen at this meeting. And something good did happen - I won $17.00 at the drawing at the end of the meeting. Thank you TRARC members.
The trivia question for the month is: "What year did the U.S. Congress authorize the FCC to establish a vanity call sign system?" This will be answered in next month's newsletter. I'm sure everyone is enjoying what nice days we are having because before long, Old Man Winter will be here. Hope to see you all at our November 6th meeting.
