[WARC] June Winona Amateur Radio Club Meeting - Thursday, June 19, 2008

[Len Litvan]

Hello Everyone,

The June club meeting will again be at Dick N0VV's Mississippi River 
cabin. This year, we will have a Heathkit HW-8 QRP CW portable station 
operating as W0NE for your pleasure. Bring your own key to make some 
QSOs with this popular rig from the late 1970s to early 1980s. An 
assortment of straight keys will also be available if you prefer.

In addition to the QRP station, the meeting will be an opportunity to do 
some coordination for Field Day 2008, which is June 28 & 29. We will be 
at the Winona Sportsmen's Club this year. Plans for the basics provided 
by the club are coming together. A separate e-mail will be going out to 
bring you up to date on details.

At the June meeting, we will also do some planning for the GRSF Special 
Event Station, callsign N2B, on July 5 & 6. Arrangements are beginning 
to fall into place for for this fun operating event also.

Dick’s cabin is located on the river just south of Winona. To get there 
go south from the highway MN-43/US-14-61 intersection in Winona (the 
last set of lights) on highways 14-61 for a distance of 4.1 miles. There 
is a break in the median there and an exit that crosses over the tracks 
and then turns left (upstream) for about a block. Dick’s cabin is 
visible from the highway as you approach the turnoff. Please be careful 
when crossing the tracks!

The usual 7:00 PM start time applies.

See you next Thursday!

73,
Len KC0RSX
