The next meeting on Monday, Aug 11 at the ARMC 6th floor classroom at 7:00pm should be of interest to almost everyone. The fall hamfest season is getting into full swing with the regular events at Shelby and Stone Mountain and others. Everyone can always use another HT for a new mode or upgrade your current HT. Here is your chance to see the latest new HT's or older HT's you might see for sale at a hamfest.

Everyone should bring their HT's regardless of age, mode etc. Then share their capabilities. Additionally, thoughts on better antennas and hot spots are also welcome. This way members get an idea what to be looking for at the next hamfest.
