JULY
2003
The STARS Club participated in Field Day (June 28th-29th) at the same site as the past few years at the Front Gate (off 17th Street) on the grounds of the North Little Rock V A Medical Center. Setup began Saturday morning after 8:00 a.m. Several members were responsible for making this an enjoyable event. Thanks to Scot N5TSL, the club’s tower and antenna were repaired and ready for Field Day. Tommy AC5JP provided a wire antenna. Steve N5QIH was responsible for getting the site reserved, table and chairs, and the porta-potty. Mike NL7RQ provided a Yeasu FT-1000MP HF radio and Alex KB5YUA provided a 6 meter radio and antenna. Russell WA5NBK and Dave W5DSB provided the communication trailer and generator. Several members camped out at the site Friday and Saturday night. TV station Channel 11 News media filmed an interview for the Saturday evening news. The club meeting was held Sunday morning.
The next regular scheduled STARS Club meeting will be held a Shoney’s in Jacksonville at 8:00 a.m. Sunday July 20, 2003. We need everyone to attend to help make decisions on several suggestions made at the Field Day meeting.

Don’t forget to check into our Sunday night 8:00 o’clock net. This is one way of passing on club information.
