. 2) The May meeting is going to be focussed on Field Day which this year
will be held up at Julio’s place. Please come prepared to discuss your availability
and contributions as to what you can bring to the event. We expect this year to be
one of our best Field Days ever ...
. 3) Any other topic that may be brought up, such as a review of the latest CANWARN

to become a member for the first couple of meetings. After that we hope you would
like to join us as a full time member and membership at this time is still only $20.00/year.
Ladies this is not just a man’s world...we do have some of very proficient
female operators but we would like to see more get into the hobby!
Attend the meeting and see what Ham Radio is all about!
