Our next club meeting will be 9:30AM Saturday June 10, 2023. We will meet at our usual meeting room at the Kern Valley Elk’s Lodge in Wofford Heights. The doors open at 9AM with refreshments available. Every one in attendance, even non-hams, will receive a free door prize ticket. We will also have raffle prize tickets available at $1 each, or 6 for $5. The prize is either half of the pot or an item of greater value than the door prizes.
Our speaker this month will be ARRL Assistant Section Manager Steven Hendricks, KK6JTB. He will be sharing how amateur radio helped with the major earthquake a few years ago in Ridgecrest.
