JJust a reminder that nominations for QCARC officers will open at this Friday’s meeting.
Remember that the program for the meeting will be remote control aircraft by Pete Carr, WW3O. So be sure to set aside Friday for this once again interesting and informative meeting!
WWhat else could possibly be the main topic of the June meeting except Field Day? After getting the meeting started, things settled into a businesslike pace as minutes were read, and reports were given. W3BC reported the club’s ARRL Special Service Club status was renewed after many years of inactivity. He further commented that the Field Day Press Release had been picked up and published by several local news outlets, and that a television news camera crew is expected. The subject turned to Field Day, and visitors Lee and Mary Lewis (N3NWL and N3UDN) shared with us some very useful Field Day pointers from their years of experience at putting on a really great Field Day operation in Ridgway.
Hams from four counties gathered at the Clearfield County EMA Center for their June Meeting. Guests helped finalize Field Day plans, newcomers introduced themselves and guest Steve Waltman KB3FPN presented an engaging technology program to round out yet another good old QCARC meeting!
Mike WB3EQW raised the question of why the club covers four counties, and Club Founder Joe W3BC related the history of the Club’s creation and the rationale behind the large geographic area.
Under new business, W3BC suggested a new program for members wishing to do more for the club — the Dime-A-Day Donor Program. Club members may voluntarily contribute an additional $36.50 each year to go toward the Club’s Educational and Outreach programs. In recognition of these voluntary contributions, they will receive the status of “Sustaining Member” and a certificate bearing witness to that fact. Several contributions were given to the Treasurer. 15 members and guests were in attendance.
After the meeting, Coffee and Donuts were enjoyed, and a 50-50 drawing was held. 
The program was then presented by Steve Waltman KB3FPN from Brookville, with help from Tom W3KWT. The program was a demonstration of the capabilities of a Communications Monitor, and how amateur transmitters could be tested easily to be sure they measured up to specs.

Hi everybody!
As I was sitting here, looking at our exellent home page, I got one of those ideas that maybe I could try to write something of my own, if nothing else, it might encourage all of you readers to do the same, afterall, we can’t wait for Joe to come up with all the articles.

That said, I would like to tell you all, that my tower is back up, my 10m quad is repaired, and the 6m beam is finaly back in the top.
Furthermore, I have a new rotor, it’s now a HAM IV rotating the antennas, so now I can finaly see at what direction I’m beaming (thanks Don, for the rotor cable)
For those of you, who are waiting for the weather to warm up, I will try to get my plans for FOX hunt realized, more about that later…….
If you are interested in fox hunt, please Email me, so we get to know how many are willing to hunt….
This was a lot about nothing, LOL, but never the less, a beginning.
