Last Night’s Meeting & More

Activities, Announcements, Meetings

As always, it was great seeing everyone. At each meeting we always miss a couple of different faces, so we look forward to seeing you at our next meeting! Visitors are always welcome!

It was a great meeting, and with the participation and ideas of our members, we got a lot done, including a new monthly activity for the spring. 

Ed (WX2R) provided an informative and impressive presentation. He really understands marketing and the dynamics of this industry. Thanks, Ed!

Saturday in the Park

No, this isn’t Chicago’s hit in the ’70s. Due in part to the success of our picnic, we’ve got a new activity that’s going to begin next month – “Saturday in the Park.” It will be the Saturday that follows our Wednesday monthly meeting, so next month that’s going to be February 25th at 10:00 a.m. 

While the weather is cool, this will be a monthly, informal get-together that will include radio work for those who are interested. All are invited. We are also going to coordinate this with our sister club, the Fair Lawn Amateur Radio Club (FLARC), in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, to make HF contacts up there. 

Bring food, drink and snacks for yourself, and anything you may like to share, and radio gear if you’d like to participate.

Hamcation

Several of our members are going to be attending Hamcation this year in Orlando. If you’ve never been, I can highly recommend it. Click here for more information on Hamcation – https://www.hamcation.com/

We’re going to coordinate getting together while we’re up there, and there was some talk of doing POTA activations on the way back. I’m setting up a topic in our WPBARG Forum for additional discussion and coordination.

Announcements, Meetings

There is no meeting in December. Our next meeting will be January 25th. Before that, on January 21, we have our picnic, which starts at 10:00 a.m. We will be posting directions in our WPBARG Forum.

Do you have portable gear? Bring it! It’s going to be a picnic and a Run What You Brung!

In addition to the picnic, we’re going to have some portable fun. Don’t have any portable gear? No problem… we share! Come on out, have some fun, and maybe get some ideas if you’re thinking of building your own go box, or share your ideas with others who may be considering building theirs.

Dov Gavish (4Z4DX) visits us from Israel

Events, Meetings

On April 27th, Dov Gavish (4Z4DX) was our guest speaker, visiting from Israel. Spanning seven decades in amateur radio and over 700,000 QSOs, Dov provided us with a very interesting history of his experiences in ham radio to a full auditorium. If you’re a DXer, check your logs, you may have worked him!

Dov was joined by Julio (AD4Z) and Ez Prado (H13AA). We are grateful for the time and travel our guest speakers invested to visit us.

You can listen to a podcast here, where Dov was interviewed a few years ago – https://qsotoday.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=166
