26 July 2010 - Were back home
fighting the heat. Jean and I had a
great time at McMinn County Hamfest. It
grows more and more each year, the
threat of rain kept some away but those
that came out enjoyed a beautiful day
and lots of begins. Keep up the good
work guys and we will see you next year.
Next month is the Huntsville Ala Hamfest
Aug 21-22, we are looking forward to
seeing every one there.
The Gladeville Hamfest
is Nov 20. Please make your plans to
attend, we are looking forward to seeing
every one and having a great hamfest.
Remember to support your local Hamfest,
it takes a lot of time and work for the
clubs to put them on and its for your
enjoyment, so get out and see your
fellow hams and pick up some great
bargains.

trying to cope with the new ARRL web
site, but it seems they now have it
pretty well worked out. I hope each and
every one goes to the new site and lets
us know what you thank. I apologize for
the inconvenience it has caused, maybe
we can chalk it up to progress!!
Jean KE4OEQ ASM,
myself W4BDB SM TN and Lowell Bennington
WD4DJW SEC were able to attend hamfests
in Union City and Bartlett. We had
a great time at each and got to see and
talk with all our friends and meet
several new ones. I am looking forward
to our next one at Knoxville June 12.
It will be the state convention and we
will have a special guest, Bob Allison,
WB1GCM, Test Engineer from the ARRL HQ.
We hope every one will stop by and meet
Bob and make him feel welcome. Bob will
also give a presentation during the
Forum. Also in attendance will be Mickey

I hope each and every
one avails themselves to your local
clubs and hamfest. Lets get the ham
spirit going. Field Day is coming up
June 26-27. Join in and make this the
biggest yet.
We have had major
flooding in the Nashville and West TN
areas. I wish to thank all the Amateur
Radio operators who participated in the
communication efforts in those areas.
There were many hams assisting in these
efforts along with the repeater owners
who linked their repeaters so there was
a good link across the state. It these
times when everyone steps up and shows
Ham Radio at its best.

was a great turn out and lots of really
good equipment. I want to thank Charlie
and all his crew for their help and
hospitality; I look forward to next
year.
Well the
Chattanooga tail gate party is on for
next week and we will be looking for all
you guys and gals at their event, please
come out and support the group.
