PRESIDENTS THOUGHTS:

Hi,

The next meeting is on Monday, 21 March 2005.

First, Dick, W2YE, will show a DVD presentation from the T33C expedition.  I am looking forward to the video - I am becoming interested in how the big guns organize for a successful expedition. This is an opportune time because beginning next month, we will be organizing for the annual Field Day and we are always looking for a few new ideas.

Second, we just completed the 2005 Virginia QSO party. I am looking forward to hearing from the club membership on their experiences during the Party. Dick, W2YE, ran a very successful operation at his QTH as K4NVA. It will be interesting to hear his stories and the station totals.

Finally, February was the annual  membership/dues collection meeting, but the meeting was cancelled. We can only hope that Ray, KD4RSL, will again be present to collect dues.

Looking forward to seeing you at the meeting.

73,
Gordon, NQ4K
