General Meeting – Norman P. Murray Center, April 18th @ 7pm.

SOARA Members,

Please join us either in person (preferably) or online using the GoTo meeting platform. Sorry to say…..but we do not have a guest speaker this month with a specific topic of presentation. We do, however, have things to discuss with our membership and will, therefore, still be serving some decaf coffee and snacks this evening.

We do need to go through the Connex box at Gilleran Park (SOONER THAN LATER) to inventory what we have for Field Day as well as what we DON’T HAVE. We will be surveying the membership for help on this and would like to have this scheduled by the end of the evening. Likely going to be a Saturday but that might be flexible. Would like to get an idea of who can be available to participate in Field Day operations. Field Day period is Friday afternoon, June 24th – Sunday afternoon June, 26th with the contesting period being 10 am Saturday to 10 am Sunday. This is our biggest event of the year and as much help as possible is appreciated.

How many of you would like to sell stuff at the auction next month? We’ve been trying to find an alternate way to do this, but we may have to do it the same way we did last October and we will discuss what that looked like. Auctions are a great way to clear out your clutter and offer a used item to a possible new ham who is looking to buy some equipment.

Remaining time can be spent chatting with one another.

For those who are not able to be in person, we have GoTo (previously known as GoToMeeting) available by clicking the link below. Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge tend to be the best supported browsers for this platform. Link will be posted below and in Membership email.
