PRESIDENTS THOUGHTS:


Hi,

Another month has gone bye and it has been busy. We held a successful awards ceremony at the Manassas Hamfest. I hope to post pictures in a few day. Plaques have been mailed to those who could not attend and the certificates should be mailed within a few days.

At our meeting on Monday, Dick, W2YE, and Bill, , KC4ATU, explain the "Operation of the Incoming QSL Buro." This is one of the major activities of the Club and Dick has always done an excellent job in managing the service. I am looking forward to learning more about the Buro.

Field Day is next weekend. I have posted a draft plan on our web site based upon the discussion at the last meeting. We will be a 3A station as we were last year. The major change is a party starting at around 6 PM - a time for all to get together.

The major outstanding issues are setting up an operator roster and devising a rainy weather plan.

The final piece of business is the election of officers for next year. The present officers were re-nominated. No other candidates were nominated. Anyone interested in serving should indicate their willingness and I am sure their enthusiasm will be rewarded.

See you at the meeting,
73,
Gordon, NQ4K
