New Meeting location
We have a new location for our monthly meetings. I believe it will suit our needs quite nicely.
The new location is, Memorial Funeral Services, 1111 S State St. It is on the same corner with J&M restaurant. The chapel seats 65 and has AV support. On behalf of our little club, I would like to express my gratitude to Ed Bush Director & Owner. And it is Diana, KN6FGI who set up today’s meeting with Ed. Thank you Diana and Ed for coming thru in our hour of need.
Diana 2 Atta-Boy’s for you 1 will not do.
So same time 6:30PM and a NEW location 1111S State St. Right off of Stetson sharing the same lot with J&M.
Our Board Meetings are staying at J&M along with weekend breakfast. Our May Breakfast fundraiser will be at it’s usual location, The Colonial Country Club. And thank you Steve and the Colonial Country Club for hosting our monthly meetings for over 2 years now.

It is our hope that our new frequencies will allow us to hear each other better as well as make out of area contacts more regularly. Unfortunately, these new frequencies do require a General Class license or better. For this reason, we are keeping it on 10 meters the first Tuesday of each month.
