Good morning, It is upon us! This weekend is QRP at Lake Ship Park! This will be a standard QRP meaning bring what ever you would like to set; be it HF, VHF-UHF, digital modes, APRS, what ever your pleasure. OR bring yourself and your interest, your questions, let’s talk about it. We will have fun for sure! The ‘Big Dogs on the Porch Café’ will have dogs, brats and burgers with the donation bucket to help offset the costs. Talk in will be on the PEM network www.polkares.org or use the included repeater attachments.

Get ready for our OCTOBER QRP our infamous “HAM’n BEANS” event. Again, I need you help.  If you plan on bringing a desert, beans dish, drinks or support stuff like plates, bowls, cups, ice, forks knives and spoon send me what you are bringing to kn4itq@comcast.net   Thanks for you support.

The meeting this month will be October 10th at 7PM. Usual location. It is our quarterly business meeting with a short information program to follow.

NET INFORMATION this will soon be on the webpage for easy pull-down access. Thanks to KT4WX
