There being no
other officer at the meeting when it came time to begin, Richard England
called the meeting to order and asked for any business that needed to be
discussed. The following items were mentioned:
1. Field Day is
June 24. The same pavilion we had last year at Chickasaw State Park has
been reserved.
2. The FHUARC Ham
Fest will be June 2 and 3. So far, there have been commitments from
three dealers to be here. They are Cedar City Sales, Memphis Amateur
Radio Electronics and BWD of Bruceton TN. The location of the Ham Fest
will be at the Athletic Center of FHU as it was last year.
On Friday the 2nd the doors
will be opened at noon in order for the dealers to get set up. The
actual festivities will begin at 5:00 PM and last until 8:00 PM. There
will be a BarBQ available and some time later in the evening there will
be a session of “Pickin’ and Grinin’” if we can get the various groups
to come. Anyone who wants to bring their guitar (or whatever) and
participate can do so.
Saturday the 3rd the doors
will open to the public at 8:30 AM and activities will continue until
2:00 PM. There will be a testing session provided at 9:00 AM for any who
wish to take a license exam for any level of license.
For both days, there is a need for
helpers to assist the dealers if they want help, helpers to work at the
registration table, man the “talk in” station and help with the
concession stand. There will be forms available at the registration
table to sign up for membership in the club.
3. Volunteers are
needed to call the ARES net in May. Barry Smith said he would do it the
first three weeks and John Adams said he would do it the last two weeks.
4. THE CLUB MEETING
ON MAY 18 WILL BE AT BARRY SMITH’S HOUSE located at 898 White Avenue
here in Henderson. If you need to call him, his phone number is
989-2362. This will be an eat’n meet’n. The eating will begin as soon
after 6:30 PM as feasible. Be sure to BYOLC (bring your own lawn chair).
In case of bad weather, check with Barry or Richard England (989-7670)
to find out what the last minute plans might be.
5. There will be a
VE test session at 9:00 AM, Saturday, April 22 at the City Hall.
6. The bus has a
new A/C and power supply installed.
