FROM THE OVAL OFFICE

In the event of an emergency in this area we as Amateur Radio 
Operators will be called on to provide communications to the 
local community. We will be required to set up stations in 
one or more locations and provide both HF and VHF communications.
We will also be required to provide our own logistics; therefore,
many skills will be required. Field Day is the annual event that 
allows us to practice for emergencies. Field Day this year is 
on June 27 and 28. If you would like to participate in Field
Day this year come to the meeting this month and let us know.

BREAKFAST

Each Saturday morning, a group of area HAMS meet at Dotties' 
Country Kitchen on North Main Street in Enterprise, for 
breakfast and fellowship. Come by and have some good food, 
or just coffee, and a good time. We start meeting about 
7AM. See you there. Jerry N4RYC
