I would like to thank everyone who who made there way to Thomas Summit.
It was beautiful up there. Amazingly the weather was perfect. 15 people made it up.
The feedback I have gotten has been really positive. I believe that each and everyone of you who made it up there over the 3 day event, contributed in meaningful ways to it’s success.
Many of you will be acknowledged at next weeks meeting. One person however is really responsible not only for the idea of ham camp and it’s planning. But also played a primary role organizing, communicating, providing food and cooking it like a master chef. As well as live streaming video and tacking photos at the event. Marcos, this happened and was a success, because of you. I personally would have never done this myself, but with the planning you put in and the support of you and this club I really have a Great Time!
I thank you, and this club thanks you too.
Many of you contributed pictures and some video. I had my drone in the air. A short movie will be presented at next weeks monthly meeting.
Because you are special to our family we would like to invite you to breakfast,
next Saturday. Additionally, we are making a little gift for you as well.
Breakfast will be 9AM & J&M restaurant. Your gift may be ready by then but if not we’ll get it to you shortly thereafter. Breakfast and your LDARC Mothers Day Gift is paid for by member donations. We appreciate the special role you play in our “Ham Family” and your ongoing participation in LDARC. Hope to see our LDARC Ham Mothers next Saturday.
Happy Mothers Day!

The man who defined the sound of live rock ‘n’ roll music and brought audio engineering principals into mainstream amateur radio use, Dr. Bob Heil, K9EID, has passed away at the age of 83. He was an ARRL Life Member and in the ARRL Maxim Society. A Facebook post from Heil Ham Radio paid tribute to their founder: “Bob fought a valiant, yearlong battle with cancer, and passed peacefully surrounded by his family.”
AI6ZW will conduct a moment of silence in Bob Heil’s honor, at this month’s club meeting.
Everyone is encouraged to bring a Heil Mic to the meeting. We will lay them out on a table.

Man made or natural disasters of big enough scope can overwhelm our normal lines of communication. Land lines, cell systems and the internet may be gone or unreliable. It may take days or weeks to bring in the infrastructure necessary to restore communications. This is where ARES can provide vital communications resources for the responders and the public.
Every licensed amateur, regardless of membership in ARRL® or any other local or national organization, is eligible to apply for membership in ARES.
Our hobby is based on the desire to communicate, and the use of technology to do so. Why not put that to good use by serving your community in times of need.
