Club News
A star… again.
Our Bob, W8ERD is no stranger to receiving accolades. His long history of public service is something many newer members might not know about- he was one of the first ARES Coordinators in Central Ohio. He received the ARRL’s Technical Service Award in 2013, and numerous other awards from various aspects of the hobby. He was published in QST several times (from a young age on…) and was instrumental in the movie “The WOW Signal”. This month, Bob’s article on the club’s end- fed antenna project was published in CQ-Amateur-Radio Magazine! His article is reprinted by permission in his column page. Congrats, Bob!First Friday morphs into the
Delaware County Fair
The official DELARA Ambassador, Grant, KD8UNQ has been active with several helpers in presenting amateur radio and DELARA at the city’s “First Friday” observances. Now, there’s a new vehicle to build publlic awareness of amateur radio - the Delaware County Fair. Stay tuned for more detail, but expect to see a DELARA booth at least a couple days at the fair - and that translates into YOUR opportunity to participate!
FINDLAY HAMFEST is less than 5 weeks away!
Based on feedback from our guests and vendors, we’re implementing a few changes and additions (and keeping several popular features) to make the 2022 FINDLAY HAMFEST, on Sunday, September 11, an even bigger success than last years amazing event! PRIZES: Yes - we’ll still offering the chance to win a popular HF rig (Yaesu FT DX-10) or a “handy” HT (FT-60R) - but we’ll also have prize drawings every half hour with hundreds of dollars in gift certificates to be given away so that you can pick up some nice “finds” at the Hamfest! ONSITE HAM LICENSE TESTING: For the first time (at least in a very long time) we’re adding onsite license testing. Pass your test on Sunday and have your license by Tuesday (typically). Find out more at www.findlayradioclub.org (There’s a $14 fee for license testing, but we’ll throw in free admission to the Hamfest.) So upgrade your license and/or bring along your yet-to-be licensed friends. SPECIAL EVENT STATION: Come work our special event station. If you hold a Technician license, here’s your chance to make some HF contacts! Or bring along your unlicensed friends (or grandkids) and get them on the air for their first time. (And take home a nice certificate.) ADDITIONAL FOOD VENDOR: We’re doubling our food vendors, and adding breakfast, to provide greater variety and faster service (and additional seating). SAME ADMISSION PRICE AS LAST YEAR: We’re all faced with higher gasoline and diesel prices, but admission to the FINDLAY HAMFEST is still only $10 - with no additional parking fee. Admission for kids and youth under 18 years old is FREE! Likewise for Scout leaders in uniform. Bring along your kids, your grandkids, your neighbors, your Scout troop, your 4H club… Buy your tickets online at www.findlayradioclub.org or at the gate on the day of the event. PERFECT WEATHER: Just kidding… but we had great weather in 2021! We’ll keep our fingers crossed. Hancock County Fairground: 8AM – 2PM SUNDAY 11 Sept 2022 1017 East Sandusky, Street, Findlay, Ohio 45840
