Field Day
TARC Auction
Well it’s that time of year again. Field Day
is fast approaching. We still need a
Chairman for Field Day.
The Turlock Amateur Radio Club is holding
an auction. Everyone is welcome to attend
as well as auction any amateur radio related
equipment. The next auction will be held on
April 13, 2013 at the First United Methodist
Church in Turlock. The doors will open at 8
AM and the auction will start at 9 AM. There
will be a $5 dollar non-refundable fee to
obtain a bidder’s paddle. More information
is on their web site W6BXN.ORG
As President I will be a Co-Chair and help
out. The Chairman needs to be decided,
preferably by this meeting in April.
A lot of the decisions about Field Day will
be discussed this meeting. If you have input
or different ideas about location and/or
activities for Field Day come to this meeting.
I will be trying to get there early and sell
some junk/treasure as a fund raiser for the
LBARC. If you have some junk..., I mean
treasure, that you wouldn’t mind getting rid
of, get it to me and I’ll put in the box for the
club.
We did this a few years ago and it was
quite successful. For those of you who have
never been to this event, it is a great social
event.
If you wish to discuss
the position of Field Day
Chairman please contact
me before the meeting.
We do need a volunteer
for the event to be held.
See you all at the meeting.
