The last meeting of 2014 is coming soon, December 23rd. There will be free food and drink courtesy of the president! Come and collect your presents early 🙂
But he was here: Santa Claus!
The proof is in the candy canes:
Hohoho!
Maybe DX Engineering will send us a nice present too 🙂
Tired of twisting the knobs on the Yaesu antenna rotator, Jason KF5EJX purchased an ERC-M rotator controller. It, in combination with a smart piece of software called PstRotator (license donated by K5WW), allows fully automatic control of the rotator (point and click!) from within logging software such as N1MM (+) Logger.
And, thinking it was high time we started doing some CW, K5WW donated a (used-with- several-10’s-of-thousands-of-QSOs-on-it-but-still-perfectly-working) K1EL Winkeyer.
Come and try all of that. Damnit. 🙂
Does anyone else have anything for our station? We still have 3 serial ports left! 😉
These are not actual minutes. No official business was conducted. Because, officially, we’re not in the business of conducting business 😉
The meeting was not called to order. Attending: Jason KF5EJX, David W5DUH, Jim AB5JK, Roger K0YY, Catherine KG5EDD and Ross KF5SOY.
There was a license exam test session! I’m not entirely sure if it was official; but…
Catherine Tull KG5EDD from Sabinal passed the General test:
Catherine KG5EDD/AG
And – just as impressive but for a different reason – Ross KF5SOY also passed the General exam:
Ross KF5SOY/AG
The different reason, you ask? Ross traveled all the way from Brownsville to take the test! Yes, we are that popular, folks! 🙂
Congrats to both of you and do please come back for the Extra class license. If you can afford the gas, ouch!
The meeting was adjourned at …
Oh, wait. There was no meeting, officially, duh! 😉
(Is it just me or does the background in these pics make you too think that these pics were really mugshots taken at a correctional facility? Do we have an interior decorator in our membership???)
Is just around the corner! It’ll be on the 25th. Come join us!
The Prez is having a whole lot of fun. 650 and counting!!! Keep going, Energizer bunny 🙂
I offer a $10 reward to the first person who can find our call in the November 2014 QST magazine!
