Dinner at 6, Meeting at 7.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>A couple of notes:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- At the last meeting, Kat Croker noted that our checking account balance has dropped below $1,500, so we are incurring a monthly fee. If we can get the balance back up over $1,500 we can save a few bucks. To that end, please consider renewing your membership dues a little early this year. So if you can, bring a check to tomorrow night's meeting.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- "Build Night" is scheduled for next month, Wednesday, May 25 from 6-9 pm in the Courthouse basement. We are officially reserved, thanks to Ray Chislett W5RAC. Build Night will take the place of our normal meeting at Yani's. Is there interest in getting a bunch of pizzas, and we can eat at the courthouse?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- For Build Night - you don't have to be an electronics whiz, or even have a project - just come and see what others are doing. But if you do want to build something, there will be a lot of expertise in the room to help out if you need it. Also, if you are looking for a kit to build, there are tons available - follow this <a href="https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=ham%20radio%20kits%20to%20build">search link</a> and it should give you some ideas.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>- The results for the Texas QSO Party are now posted online. See <a href="http://www.n5bia.net/txqp/index.php/2014-03-17-17-48-02/2014-03-21-16-32-14">http://www.n5bia.net/txqp/index.php/2014-03-17-17-48-02/2014-03-21-16-32-14</a> Our score was 28,397 (see page 16). We came out 20th out of 27 clubs - not bad, but I think we can improve our score this year!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>73,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Roger N5RWK<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
