July is the month for lots of outdoor activities. Why not combine this with amateur radio? You don’t have a portable rig, you say! Well, how about setting up on your deck or patio or lawn and just use a good power cord and run an extra length of coax? You’d be amazed how much better operating conditions are when you are in the open. Try it; you’ll like it!

Three candidates successfully passed exams at the VE session on June 2, 2007. They were:

Jerry F. Sounik – KB1PCW

Steven A. Wieczorek – KB1JCH

Job well done!

Enjoy your new privileges!

POINT TO PONDER

"Even today a good many distinguished minds seem unable to accept or even to understand that from a source of noise, natural selection alone and unaided could have drawn all the music of the biosphere."

~ Jacques Monod
(from "Chance and Necessity," 1970).
