From patrickboneil at juno.com Tue Oct 1 06:32:07 2013 From: patrickboneil at juno.com (Patrick B O'Neil) Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2013 09:32:07 -0400 Subject: LPD and Christmas Party Message-ID: Hello Everyone, As I discussed at the September meeting, the Lakeland Police Department is having an Open House on October 19th, 2013. We do not have a volunteer to lead the event for the Lakeland Amateur Radio Club. I am asking for someone to please take the lead for this event. We have been at this event for many years. We will be having our annual Christmas Party at the Church before our regular meeting on December 2nd, 2013 at 6pm. We will be giving a special thank you to our spouses who let us enjoy our hobby. Jimbo's will be catering the event for $9.00 per person. We ask that every family bring a salad and/or a desert to share with the membership. We always have a great time at this event and we are expecting a large attendance. Ernie will be collecting for our Christmas Party at our October and November meetings. Please give Ernie cash and do NOT wait until the last minute to attend. Please contact me if you can lead the LPD event or you have any questions. Thanks, Patrick From aF1RE at arrl.net Tue Oct 1 20:21:45 2013 From: aF1RE at arrl.net (Robin Retzloff) Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2013 23:21:45 -0400 Subject: Polk ARES September Training Hours Message-ID: Polk County ARES Members, Please submit your September training hours on this form: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?pli=1&formkey=dGhaaUVfWVVOLU5US2lpcHM1LWp2WEE6MQ#gid=0 . All hours spent in amateur radio activities count as training. Reading, checking into nets, building antennas, and scanning the frequencies are all examples of time counted for training. I will count the time spent at our monthly meeting and time spent on our net. Do not add those activities to your time entered. I need the hours entered by October 5th. 73 Robin Retzloff AF1RE Polk County ARES EC 407-421-8422 AF1RE at ARRL.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Here is the information. Take a listen this week. Rich ? N4ESS NASA's Juno spacecraft will fly past Earth on October 9, 2013 to receive a gravity assist from our planet, putting it on course for Jupiter. To celebrate this event, the Juno mission is inviting amateur radio operators around the world to say "HI" to Juno in a coordinated Morse Code message. Juno's radio & plasma wave experiment, called Waves, should be able to detect the message if enough people participate. So please join in, and help spread the word to fellow amateur radio enthusiasts! This page will be updated with additional information as the event approaches.

The following will also be discussed at the LARC Meeting on Monday (November 4th, 2013). This Monday, we will be electing our new Officers and Board Members for 2014. Also on Monday, we will be collecting food for Volunteers in Service to the Elderly (Viste). This is a group that we have supported for many years. Since we are at the end of the year, our donations are very important for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Please help our community support Viste by bringing canned goods to our meeting on Monday. I know many individuals might think that I "harp" about this, but I believe that it is important for us to give to our community, especially the seniors. Ernie Haynes, KG4YNI, will be collecting for our Christmas Party on Monday also. Our Christmas Party will be on Monday, December 2nd, 2013 at 6pm. Jimbo's BBQ will be catering the event for us. The cost is nine dollars per person and payable to Ernie, CASH ONLY. We do request that everyone brings a salad or DESERT to share. The menu will have the stand fare: BBQ chicken, pulled pork sandwich, hush puppies, beans, and slaw. Iced tea and coffee will be provided. If you plan to attend, please make sure that you give Ernie your money at the meeting on Monday, November 4th, or at the PICNIC! We will be having a Fall Picnic on Saturday, November 9th, 2013 at Lake Parker Park in Lakeland, from dawn until 2pm. We will be "playing" ham radio with fox hunting, HF DX, and an APRS demo. The Club will be providing the hamburgers, hot dogs, and condiments. We ask you to bring a covered dish to share and your own drinks. Another event will take place on Saturday, December 14th, 2013.

Message-ID: Hello all, Andrew(KK4KIC) here. I was wondering if someone could be on the repeater tomorrow, October 31st at 3pm local time. I am going to be at a Good News Club, with a group of kindergarten through 5th graders. The missionary story they heard at the club last week involved ham radio, so I thought I could show them just a little bit about it. I don't need much, just one person to answer me, and maybe say what they like about the hobby. Please reply if you can do it.
