Patrick Fitzgerald, KVØK wants this year’s spring potluck to be the biggest and best ever, so he has asked us to send out the following event notice right away.

Hello all SCARC members:
Please mark your calendars for Saturday, May 17th for the annual radio club potluck/fox hunt/general meeting.  As before, the gathering will start at 11:30 at our house at 625 Elk Springs Drive.  Carol and I will supply burgers, brats, buns, condiments and soft drinks.  If you wish adult beverages, please BYOB.  We ask that you bring a favorite dish to share.  We will have programs that will be interesting and beneficial to your hobby.

KBØHP will do a presentation on properly grounding your shack AND house.
There will be a live demo of antennas for low profile (important if you have regulations against antennas at your home).

A review and handout about books critical to improving your knowledge of radio operating.

Discussion of field day setup and operating.

Other presentations are wanted and encouraged, so let me know if you have something to add, (970) 379-3363.

We’ll have a table for swap fest items, and I am sure there will be some real bargains!

The high point of the year is always the fox hunt, with prizes for the first three winners, so come prepared to hunt.  Carol and I hope this will be the biggest event of the ham radio year.  Please call with any questions or if we can help!

Best and 73 de KVØK Patrick
