I hope everyone enjoyed the foxhunt and cookout on Friday, May 16. There were a few raindrops but nothing measurable. Thank to Tim (KBØYQN) and Lindsey for preparing and cooking the food.
Two important Club events occur in June, and it takes all the members to make these events successful.
First, the election of Club officers which takes place at the June business meeting. There will be nominations followed by a vote.
Second is Field Day. We will again be at the Hutton Farm which is just west of the Shawnee Mission Park 87 Street entrance. We will start setting up around 9 AM on Friday, June 27 to beat the heat or any weather that is more likely in the afternoon. I will need help on Thursday with loading the trailer at my house with the masts and other Field Day gear.
On Sunday, we need help with breaking down and cleaning up the site. We normally start a little before 1 PM. I could also use help on Monday with unloading the trailer and stowing the gear.
See the Club’s Website and Facebook pages for the schedule of Field Day events. This is a family and friends’ event, so invite them to visit the site.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone at Field Day.
