<p class=MsoNormal>Hello Hams:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My thanks to Richard England, John Adams and Mike Burkhead
for representing the club well during the BBQ Festival. They set-up a station
in the Gazebo downtown on Friday morning and made several contacts…even
some DX! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are one week away from our October club meeting. I will
be unable to attend due to teaching a class in Parsons that night. Dan will be
traveling out of town…so, I’m not sure what else to do. There is
no program scheduled for this month, nor are there any activities in our immediate
future. Unless someone has a program they would like to present, I would
suggest that the club have an eating meeting at a restaurant, or, simply cancel
the meeting this month. Please let me know something VERY soon on your
thoughts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>November’s meeting is already planned and scheduled!
We will be hosting the Storm Spotter Training Class for the National Weather
Service. (This is why Oct is open…NWS had to re-schedule our Oct class
to Nov) The meeting date will change slightly. We will be meeting on <b>Tuesday
night</b> rather than Thursday night next month. <b>November 18<sup>th</sup></b>
will be our meeting date and class. It will be held in <b>Ayers Auditorium in
the Brown-Kopel Business Center</b> next door to the Gardner Center. The
campus and community will be invited. More on this later…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We must say good-bye to our friend, fellow-ham operator and
club Vice-president, Dan Crump, W1LSU. Dan has accepted a job with a former
employer as a pharmacy supervisor for a group of stores. He will be moving to
Dallas/Fort Worth. He leaves next week for his new job. His family will
remain here for a little while before moving with him. We wish Dan all the
best in his new work and the challenges that are ahead for he, Brenda and his
girls.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Have a great weekend and let me know your thoughts on the
October meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>73,<o:p></o:p></p>
