Beginning this month the format of the CARP Meetings will be changing. We will continue to have our club news/business presentation but after we come back from break we will not only have a presentation on the meeting topic but also have a breakout session in the room next door. The breakout sessions will cover varous topics more of an educational or elmering nature.
Main Topic
The main topic is currently to be determined.
CARP Elmer Breakout
The CARP Elmer break-out session will be lead by Tom N6MQG and he will be covering use and programming of HTs. He (and others) will be on hand to go over the operation and use of your HT as well as help with programming. Be sure to bring your HT and your questions.
Each year CARP takes a summer hiatus from meetings in the months of July and August. We still have activities during these months so keep checking the website!
June is our last meeting for the summer break. There will be no meetings in July or August. So as a kick-off to summer 2019 we will have a little party. Steve NA6G will be MCing the CARP Trivia night. Come on out and have some fun, and possibly win some prizes.
We will also be serving root beer floats!
Fireworks Stand Fundraiser Training will also take place.
James K6JDM will be discussing the Amateur Radio Volunteer Examiner (VE) program. Come to the meeting to find out about the history, reasoning for and how to become a VE.
