NFARL MART

Registration for the September 18 "HamCram for General" class is closed.  Class details are available at the HamCram web page.

NeighborNewspapers.com published "Hammin' It Up" on June 2 recognizing the awards NFARL and Jim W4QO received at Dayton Hamvention.  The web version of the article is located here; or download a PDF copy of the newspaper article by clicking here.  The photo to the right is from the article.

Bob Citronberg, KI4GHT has generously donated to NFARL 50 tickets for the Atlanta Braves – Florida Marlins game on Sunday, August 29 at 1:35PM.  These upper deck tickets have a great view of the field and are available to NFARL members and their guests on a first-come, first-served basis.  To claim from one to a maximum of four tickets, please send an e-mail to Bill, K4YJI with your request (k4yji@nfarl.org).  Tickets will be available for pickup at the club meeting on August 17.

The Field Day Photo Contest is open for voting.

The July meeting's pre-meeting topic is a garage sale.  It's a great opportunity to clean out the shack / garage / storage bins & score some $$ for that next big purchase!  Sellers, mark your items with your call or name and a price; prices must be $20 or less.  Buyers, arrive early for the best bargains!

Registration is now open for the 2010 fall HamCram for General session.  Registration, which is open to technician license holders, will be open until September 3 August 28.  Details are available at the HamCram web page; register now at the Mart's "General License HamCram Class" web page.

Both TechNet and Youth Net are taking a summer break.  We expect the nets to resume in late August.

Field Day photos we have received to date are published in the 2010 Field Day Photo Album located at www.nfarl.org/photoAlbum2010FD/index.html.

Photo submission deadlines and rules for the Field Day Photo Contest are as follows:

Roswell's Mayor Jere Wood at the City Council meeting on June 21 proclaimed Jim W4QO to be Roswell's Radio Amateur of the Year.  The award was a complete surprise to Jim.  Jim's family had been notified earlier and was able to attend the council meeting to see him be honored.  Join us in congratulating Jim for this well earned award.

Bob KJ4IXI took his camera to the ARC Hamfest and captured many photos of hamfest activities for us.  They are posted in the 2010 Club Photo Album.  Bob, thanks for sending them.
