Greetings, All,
'Tis the middle of another month, so it's time for a quick summary.
First, a couple of corrections. (So, what else is new?) In last
month's newsletter, I gave the incorrect call sign for BOB
VARONE, W4ETN. Sent out a correction a day later, and
doggone if I didn't get his call sign wrong again. Bob's call is
W4ETN. Let's hope it's embalzoned in my brain now.
Also, in last month's newsletter, I told about some of the
happenings in Thomas county. That's all well and good, but I called
it Wayne county. (Would it help any if I told you that I went to
school with a fella named Wayne Thomas??) No, I didn't think so.
MIKE BROWN, KE4FGF, is serving as the EC for both
Thomas and Grady counties. KENZIE TYRE, KE4ZFR, is
the Wayne county EC. Sorry for the mix-up.
Tomorrow is the Paulding County ARC Hamfest, to be held at Paulding
Meadows Park, 2 miles north of the Dallas courthouse on hwy 61. FREE
admission and FREE tailgating. 8AM-4PM. Good location, good
fellowship, and a great lunch for a super price. Talk-in 146.895+ PL
77. I'll have advance tickets for the upcoming (Nov 3-4)
Lawrenceville fest with me, so come see me to save yourself a couple
dollars on the admission to one of THE BEST Hamfests in the
southeast. (Saves you a big ol' wait in line come November, too!)
I'll also have GA Piglet shirts in all sizes. And as always, you can
join the ARRL or renew your current membership, and receive a
repeater directory absolutely FREE. Woo HOO! Hope to see you in
Dallas tomorrow.
There's another Hamfest coming up at the end of the month, and
that's the TenTec fest, on September 28 and 29 in Sevierville, TN.
Also offers FREE admission and tailgating, but this one also
includes the opportunity to tour TenTec. Fri: 3-8PM, and Sat:
9AM-3PM. 1185 Dolly Parton Parkway. While you're in Tennessee, you
might want to take in another ham activity. After the fest, the
Southeastern DXers and Contesters (SEDCO) will be holding a big
conference and dinner at the Mainstay Suites in Pigeon Forge. See
www.sedco.homestead.com
for details.
HAM CLASSES coming up this month: Night school classes will be
starting next week at Central Gwinnett High School in Lawrenceville,
and Tuesday the 18th will kick off a ham radio class, designed to
instill a basic understanding of the topics covered in the
technician test. This course usually lasts for 5 or 6 weeks.
Registration fee and book required. Contact the school to register.
ALSO, there will be a technician class taught at the Henry county
EOC from 9AM to 3PM on September 22 and 29. Contact ROY
BAKER, WB4WQE for info. (@arrl.net)
