Good morning,

The Zoom meeting is this evening.  I hope you will join us for the ARES Discussion for the After Action Report on the Activation Exercise from Saturday afternoon.  Is should be interesting.

Dale is not able to join us this week because he needs to attend a meeting of the local water utility.  We will carry on in his absence to share information that gives each of us something to take home.

IN THE NEWS:

We are still waiting for the ARRL Foundation Club Grant application parameters.  The Panhandle Amateur Radio Club will host their Annual Swap Meet this Saturday April 27, 2024.  It is being held at the AmTech Career Academy at 3601 Plains Blvd. in Amarillo.

Whit will also not be present tonight.  His challenging trivia question for tonight is:

This ham was once an engineer at a public radio station and had a BS in astronomy. Later he was known for catching computer hackers and raised questions about the influence of the Internet on future society, and whether it would be beneficial. He made various predictions such as calling e-commerce nonviable (due to a lack of personal contact and secure online funds transfers) and the future of printed news publications (“no online database will replace your daily newspaper”).  Who is he?

Severe storm season is beginning throughout the Section.  In the roundtable, share with us what preparations you have made or are making to weather a storm.

I look forward to seeing you tonight,

David O W5JDO
