The July edition of “MARC Wireline“, the club’s newsletter is ready for download. I am looking for articles or interesting links you find on antennas, new rigs, ham radio projects, etc. FYI – The links in the newsletter (pdf) are “active” and will connect you to the appropriate website for additional info.

June was a busy, but very good month for the club. Our Hamfest was well attended by both vendors and visitors, and the new location seems to be a hit despite the lack of shade trees. Thanks to all of you who participated to make it a success, for our club and the other Hams out there who were able to enjoy it.

Field Day was also a success thanks to Barb KA8AXY & Bill KC8RUG for offering their home again, and because of the hard work of the members who went out to set up on Friday. Here is a summary of the log data:

Station A

281 total contacts, 281 pts

Top Operator: Bill WD6ADM – 150 contacts, 53% of total

Station B

257 total contacts, 257 pts

Top Operator: Gary KC8BTA 76 contacts , 30% of total

Station C

214 total contacts, 428 pts

Top Operator: Dave Yockey K8CMO 214 contacts, 100% of total

MARC Totals:
538 contacts by phone 72% , 538 points 56%

752 contacts, 966 QSO points

Once again, thanks to everyone who helped set up, operate, and clean up at both Hamfest and Field Day, because these events don’t just happen.
