October 4, 2012 Club Meeting
Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 7:00 PM Red Cross Building, 60 Hawthorne St., Medford, OR (across from Hawthorne Park)
Program: Ham Stations of the Rogue Valley, Jack Schock, WA7IHU
As we discussed in May, the club has decided to sell all of the older equipment that is no longer useful for Field Day. It was decided that club members should have the first opportunity to purchase any of it. Therefore, the equipment will be on display at the October meeting for sale to club members only. If more than one member is interested in a particular piece of equipment, a simple lottery can be performed to determine the purchaser. Whatever is left over will be sold online.
At the October meeting an officer nominating committee will be named. New officers will be elected at the November meeting and installed at the December event.
Our presentation at the October meeting will be delivered by our secretary Jack Schock, WA7IHU. Jack will be presenting a slide show featuring various ham shacks in the Rogue Valley.
Announced in the October 2012 issue of The Repeater.
