June is nearing and end but we still have a very important day know as Field Day 2008. There are new extra points to be earned this year. I do hope to have up an antenna before then. This wire on the fence isn't working too good. You can earn 100 points for sending an ARRL Radiogram to your Section Manager or the Section Emergency Coordinator, Mike Schwartz, KG5TL. You still have a way to earn those points if don't send the radiogram to me. Please read the June issue of QST for this year and the Field Day events. I always found the food at the Field Day sites was very good. This will also get you in the mood for the SET event in October.
I want to thank Mike Schwartz, KG5TL, and Rik Chapman, K5RIK, for reminding me of the SET scores for 2007 on page 64 of the July 2008 issue of QST. South Texas did well and hope we have a lot more reports this year.
Congratulations to our ARRL President Joel Harrison, W5ZN, on his appointment to the board of Directors of the Arkansas Science and Technology Authority.
We all want to wish Riley Hollingsworth the very best on his retirement. Riley, that means no more paid holidays and vacations. However, there is always Honey Dos to take up your days. I hope you can find time to get on the air.
I want to thank Mike Schwartz for taking my place on the air during this time of moving to San Antonio. We talked on the phone and then he would bring things to you on the SM net. Thank all of you for the jobs you did during my absence. There is a correction to my new address in the July issue of QST. It should be 15426 Spring Coral, (capital c on Coral), San Antonio, TX 78247. Phone is 210-233-8971. Just a word of advice, if your going to move don't wait until your 75. Do it while you are young.
To start with, I had some problems with my e-mails but that is ok now I hope. I did notice that our clubs have been doing a great job.
Until next month.
God Bless America and our Troops.
