Tom Carney, K6EU will be our speaker. The topic is "VHF Contesting" and
includes a rover vehicle setup/demonstration.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING SUMMER MEETING TIMES:

The May 21 WVARA meeting will be at 7:30pm as usual. The three meetings after that, June, July and August are scheduled for 7pm, a half hour earlier.

This change is being tested during the summer months to coordinate better with our gracious hosts the Red
Cross (and let us all get to bed a little earlier). During and after the July meeting the decision will be made whether to make this experiment permanent. Please give any feedback you have on this decision to (any of or all of) the officers and the board of directors.
