Yard Sale Was A Success

Last weekend, May 22, Wynona, KF4HSM ran a very successful Yard Sale to raise funds for the club’s comm trailer air conditioning replacement. Together with previous donations, sufficient funds were raised to offset the cost of new (already installed) unit.

What’s more, there are some leftover radio goodies (see the boneyard) that will raise additional funds for whatever might be needed in the future.

Many thanks to Wynona. Also thanks to these expert yard sale helpers: Dana – KJ4GWB, Dawn – KJ4KUJ, Carolyn – KJ4GON, and Kerry – AI4CW.

Pavo Peacock Parade May 8

The big event is this Saturday, May 8. We’ll be providing communication. This event is best served by those with Handi-Talkies, but of course all are welcome and there will most likely be a few extra HTs to go around.

Meet up in Pavo around 9 am. More details on the Thursday night net on the 145.17 Reno repeater.

Wynona promises one of her famous country breakfasts to those who show. That’s reason enough to attend!

Robert KB4RG Makes It To Texas

Email from Robert to KE4FGF -
I tried to participate in the 3.975 net today but heard nothing. I don’t think the vertical receives as well as the Windom.

I have 114 regional repeaters entered in to two of my radios now.  I found a net while scanning and they connected me to Bexar County ARES.  They use Yahoo Groups to manage their membership so I signed up.  They have 163 members in the county.  Their next meeting is Tuesday night at the EOC and I already have the map to get there.  San Antonio is the primary hurricane evacuation center for the entire Texas gulf coast, so ARES is very active here.  ARES meets monthly and alternates meeting locations between Red Cross headquarters and the EOC.
Hasta luego,
Robert, KB4RG

P.S. I have determined that I can eat at a different Mexican restaurant every day and it will take months before I have to eat at the same one twice.
