Jim (WB8RRR) is heading up the Hamfest and will be asking for help for setup, parking, cooking, workers, and tear down. Contact Jim to help (513) 831-6255. Directions to Hamfest

Chris Spiess (AE8OH chris@rhymeswithpeace.com) is the chairperson for Field Day, he is finalizing the “plan”.

June’s meeting (6/13/13) will be at our regular location (Faith Church on Price Rd), testing at 6pm and meeting beginning at 7:30pm. The presentation for June will be split between a video on “Manufacturing vacuum tubes” and finalizing any details on Ham Fest or Field Day.

Thanks to Steve Friebele (K8JI) for adding the ability to accept payment for donations, new member and renewal membership with PayPal and Credit cards on the W8MRC.com website. It is now up and running and we have already received two paid memberships via that system.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at June’s meeting!
