Our July 15th, 2006 meeting was fun and interesting!! Stephen Finch (AIØW) gave us an excellent antenna and feedline presentation with some of us then meeting at San Dong Restuarant for our traditional after-meeting luncheon. - Thank You Stephen for a great presentation! Also, a bunch of us got together to better position the club's antenna trailer in Marshall's parking lot. As you can see it was certainly a group effort but a big "thanks" goes to KIØRB for all of the great upgrades he completed on our trailer this year - Thank You Vince!

Peter (NO2D), Jim (KAØNZZ), Scott (KAØHSV), Marshall (N1FN), Vince (KIØRB), and John (KA3RDZ) all helped move the club's antenna trailer into a better parking position. A big "Thank You" to Milestone Technologies for providing the club with a home for its portable antenna farm!
