Austin Amateur Radio Supply

At tonight's club meeting it was voted to purchase an Optoma EP7155 projector with a screen and ceiling mount. W5AJ reported we had no applicants for the MARC scholarship. It was voted to extend the deadline to May 29 and encourage club member relatives and college students to apply. It was agreed we would have a Field Day meeting in conjunction with the Saturday coffee & donut meeting on May 2 at 9:30 am. KD5VOU is confirming Beal Park will be available for FD.

The program was a presentation by N5NA on building and operating the club's new Elecraft K3 transceiver.

We are now taking orders for Field Day tee shirts and pins. It seems like a long time until Field Day but it will be here before you know it! Be sure to mark June 27th and 28th on your calendard NOW!

This year the order will be placed two weeks earlier than last year. Last year the order was placed six weeks before Field Day and the ARRL was already sold out of some sizes of shirts. So, this year it's planned to place the order on April 28, the day after the 2nd meeting in April.

You can order three different ways. Catch N5NA at a club meeting or Saturday coffee meeting, send a check with a note of what you want to MARC, P.O. Box 4401, Midland, TX 79704, or order online. The tee shirts are $13.00 and the pins are $5.00. However, if you order online the tee shirts are $13.50 and the pins are $5.40. This is so the club doesn't lose money with the PayPal fee. All orders must be paid in advance.

The shirts look sharp this year. You don't want to be the only one at Field Day without a cool looking tee shirt so get your order in early!

A big THANKS to everyone who made the 2009 St. Patrick's Day Hamfest a success. We especially appreciate Austin Amateur Radio Supply for bringing a big load of new equipment and accessories!
