does then maybe there will be more jokes. You will have to join us

Hi,
Our next regularly scheduled Stand-In would be Sunday, 21 March.
However, the Virginia QSO Party is on 20-21 March.
Therefore, we have cancelled the Stand-In so we can be on the air in
the VQP.

Hi,
Very good meeting. Twelve attendees in total. Ten on Zoom and two
on 2M repeater.
Chaz, KK4TNO, joined us from North Carolina. Bill, WJ4U, joined us
from Dallas, TX. And Kevin, W4KLS, joined us from Sierra Vista, AZ
hotel room.
Jokes are getting better. I thought three were good enough to
repeat to my XYL.

Hi,
Nine attendees. Seven on Zoom and two on 2M repeater.
Lasted an hour. Jokes were average, except for one exceptional joke
by Henry, K2BFY. My joke was not a hit and someone suggested I go
back to the pickle book. HI HI

Hi,
It was a great meeting. We had 18 members and guests in total. A
good turnout. Several people I had not seen in a while. After the
meeting, Bill, WJ4U, sent an email from Dallas, TX saying he was
sorry he missed it - the time difference messed him up.
Thanks to Kevin, W4KLS, for suggesting and Marty, NV3H, for
arranging the presentation for this meeting.
Mike, AF7KB,, has a series of books supporting amateur radio
licensing. Mike's presentation during the meeting was fantastic.
He is a very entertaining speaker with a way of clearly explaining
things.
Mike has a website at: https://fasttrackham.com. And a youtube
channel at:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0TUltCJoV2ufJ4dSUY19jw.
Alternatively go to youtube and do a search for AF7KB. His books
are available on Amazon.
We now have a donation button on our website. Bottom of home page.
Wait a little while before using it. Charlie, K3SR, is working out
the kinks, like how to get money from paypal into our checking
account and figuring out who sent the money.
The Virginia QSO Party is 20-21 March. Please put this on your
calendar and plan to participate. We also have a new plaque this
year. A GOTA plaque for single unlicensed participants under the
supervision of a control operator. The genesis for the plaque came
from Theresa, KG4TVM, during out VQP presentation to the Olde
Virginia Hams radio club.
That is all for now.

Hi,
It is time for our monthly club meeting. The first Wednesday of
each month at 7 PM. Virtual meeting. See connection information
below. Pass along to interested parties if you like.
Marty, NV3H, has arranged for another excellent presentation.
Michael Burnette, AF7KB will present “How to Hammer Your Next Ham
Exam” There are some nice videos by him on the net. It should be
an entertaining and interesting presentation. I believe that Kevin,
W4KLS, is using his book to study for his extra exam. maybe we will
see what Kevin has to say about it also.
The Virginia QSO Party is coming up on the 20-21 March. I hope you
are all ready to participate.
We did put in a new plaque this year. A Get-On-The_Air (GOTA)
plaque. Single participant under the supervision of a control
operator. It is a little late in the cycle to introduce something
new, but it is an interesting idea and we will see what happens.
We have not had a Tech Ten Talk in a while. Maybe we can see if we
can get these started again.
