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.
Here is a link to the ARRL article.
This weekend starts Daylight Saving Time. Just a friendly reminder to set your clocks ahead 1 hour Saturday night.
Just a reminder to anyone who is looking to upgrade to the Amateur Extra license soon, the question pool changes on July 1st of this year (2024), so if you have been waiting to get it, or have been studying for it, I would recommend getting in to test soon. Hope to see you post those upgrades soon! Our next testing session is Saturday, March 16, 0800 (8am). 73

Here’s the plan.
- 2 Points for any QSO on any band, using any mode.
- 1 point for any QSO another station makes using the frequency you shared with the group.
1 bonus point for each QSO you post on QRZ.com
And for those of you who really want get big points,
10 points for any CW contact on any band.
Finally, as an incentive to help new hams use the tech area of 10M
2 bonus points for any QSO made by you or another station you sent to the tech area of the 10M band.
Our regular 10M frequency will continue to be our net frequency.
Points and frequency’s are to be reported to net control. Only then do the points count.
Net control will also keep track of who found a frequency we use for a QSO’s.
The winner will receive an official, LDARC, ATABOY.
All QSO’s must be made using modes and frequencies indicated on the icom band plan linked here
As always, only operate within the parameters of your FCC license.
I just made all of this up so any feedback you have will be appreciated.
