Congratulations
Gary KN6VJO He passed his General exam at Field Day. Welcome to all the HF bands.
I’m really happy that people enjoyed themselves and that things went pretty smoothly at Field Day this year. I would like thank our club officers, board members and everyone who attended zoom meetings and or participated in the event operations making everything happen.
Congratulations to our top 3 winners.
- Greg KN6PKG
- Gary KK6VZZ
- Art WD5GIE
Also Don,Larry,Charlie,Marcos,John & Greg Tyler (potential member) who all won prizes as well.
And thank you to all who contributed to our raffle so lots of hams could win cool stuff. Finally thank you to everyone who purchased raffle and meal tickets you make it happen too.
Also great work Operators! Our numbers are going to be good this year despite mediocre conditions. I’ll have our numbers tabulated and submitted hopefully this week.
While this event was obviously a group effort and there are many atta boy’s and girls to be issued. In my opinion, nobody works harder than our Event Manager & Treasurer KN6MJS. Our events are a success first and foremost due to her hard work commitment to our club. Please acknowledge her when you can and tell her how much you appreciate what she does for our events. Karen, Thank You! In the future we need to find ways to make these events easier for her going forward.

Eagle Net Tonight

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.
W9MCA Lyle Delano is a silent key. Lyle’s service will be at veterans cemetery in Riverside, on July 11th. You must be at the gate no later than 1PM for his service at 1:30PM.
Lyle’s silent key ceremony will be at our club meeting this Wednesday.
Due to some personal and professional challenges I’m dealing with, my day to day participation in our nets will be very limited for a while. I want everyone to be assured that this is not due to anything happening with the club and my responsibilities as club president shouldn’t be affected. I’ll miss you guys when I’m not there and will be looking forward to full participation in the future.
