In local announcements… NORAC members are encouraged to volunteer their time today at the O’Keefe Ranch Mothers Days and Season Opening event. NORAC is onsite at the event promoting Amateur Radio and our upcoming Field Days Event in June. Club members will be onsite and all you need to do is drive out there and volunteer to help in marshaling parking and promoting amateur radio. I’m sure your fully charged VHF hand-held radio will be an essential piece of equipment for the day.

NORAC Executives want to thank those members and visitors who attended the Trailer Sale silent auction at the Hydro yard yesterday. The bids are now closed and will be opened and reviewed by the club executives at this week’s meeting on Thursday night. Successful bidders will be notified by telephone. We will do our best to coordinate pickup times with the bidders at the Hydro Yard after the bids have been reviewed and approved.

And finally Samantha Vincent (Sam) VE7SDV has resigned from the NORAC Executive due to her upcoming move to California and change of jobs. We all want to thank her for her participation in NORAC over the last few years. We are losing a great Ham and will miss her presence & enthusiasm.
This concludes my bulletins and announcements.
Thanks very much for the time and back to the Net.
