Just a note to let people know that the La Framboise event went really well. I had 54 QSO's the first hour and a total of 72 for the entire 2 hours. I could have operated longer, but had other things to do. The wx Staurday couldn't have been better. The sun was shining and the temp was around 55F. There was some QSB on the band and some QRM, but it worked out just fine. I had one contact in Mexico, another in Alaska and a few with our VE neighbors to the north. Other contacs were from NY to CA and FL to WA state. I ran my Kenwood TS-570D with a Heil boom mic using VOX, keeping my hands free to log contacts on the laptop. I ran 100 watts into a Hustler trunk mounted antenna and I got lots of compliments on the station. It was an exciting event, especially the first hour and I look forward to doing it again. The log has been uploaded to eQSL and LOTW and a big thanks to everyone who called me on the air. 73 Rich (KØPIR/M)

Please put April 22nd at 1830 on your calendar for the next weather spotting class. This class is required if you have not taken the class before and would like to be involved in weather spotting. The class is also required every two years for those who enjoy weather spotting and have been doing so the last couple of years; so if you did not attend the class in 2007 or 2008 you need to attend this class to remain current and on call.
