111- N 6 Q DB-III<br />
Susan Rohrer, N6QDB, has just been<br />
notified by Congressman Packard that she<br />
has been appointed to the United States<br />
Naval Academy. It is believed that Susan's<br />
interest and participation in amateur radio<br />
activities certainly helped in her<br />
selection. There were approximately 17,000<br />
applicants with about 1,500 being<br />
appointed. About 130 of those appointed<br />
were YL' s • Yes, they do have an amateur<br />
radio club at the United States Naval<br />
Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.<br />
III-VISITORS-III<br />
Please remember to be extra polite to<br />
visitors in our area and to extend to them<br />
the curtesy of using our repeaters while<br />
they are in the area:W~NWG/R and KA6UAI/R.<br />
You might mention times of club meetings, S<br />
pm traffic nets, 9 pm technical nets, and<br />
our coverage area. Mary-N6NOG really does<br />
a good job of this for the club when she is<br />
on the air.<br />

WE NEED SHELTERS FOR FIELD DAY ON 24TH<br />
AND 25TH OF JUNE. We could use CAMPERS,<br />
TRAILERS, MOTOR HOMES, and tents. Please<br />
let us know if you have some type of<br />
shelter that you could make available to us<br />
for FD. Since this is a retirement area,<br />
many of our members are alive and kicking<br />
but have gotten past the "camping" stage of<br />
life and of course we have the "NO SMOKING"<br />
sign for anyone that wants it posted in<br />
their shelter.<br />
WE ALSO NEED 6M SSB for FD so if you have<br />
a unit and can help us out, please give<br />
Steve-N6UIA (CHOP of VHF-UHF), Bud-KG6VX<br />
(Field Day Chairman), or Stan-W9FQN a call.<br />
~1t could be a real hot band this FD. We<br />
~eed a packet station and some packet<br />
operators.<br />
We will start setting up equipment Friday<br />
afternoon, June 23rd, and we will need help<br />
then and Saturday morning as well as<br />
operators and loggers from 11 am Saturday<br />
morning till 11 am Sunday morning. Clean<br />
up is after 11 am. Remember to come and<br />
SIGN-IN so that you get credit for our<br />
prized drawing at the August picnic. It<br />
looks as if we will be running SA with the<br />
stations marked with an "*" having shelters<br />
already spoken for: (SO-15M-SSB-KG6VX),<br />
(40-10M-SSB-KB6NMK), (*20M-SSB-N6KI), (*So<br />
4O-20-WARC-15-1OM-CW-WB6R), & (*UHF-VHFpacket-KA6UIA).<br />
Microwave and Novice-Tech<br />
10M do not count against us as stations in<br />
the SA classification. There is a<br />
possibility that the OW could be broken up<br />
into two stations if enough of you are<br />
interested and then that would put us into<br />
6A.<br />
This could be our best year ever so plan<br />
on making it to Field Day this year.<br />
III-TOWER CLIMBERS etc.---III<br />
Over the past few years we have had quite<br />
a few tower climbers for our SO' tower<br />
which is set in IS tons of cement. I would<br />
like to update my list and pick up any of<br />
you that I might have missed so that we are<br />
not calling on the same people all of the<br />
time for help.<br />
*ED-N6GZI Lanny-N6CEK Stan-W9FQN<br />
*Rick-WV6K Steve-N6UIA Dennis-N6KI<br />
*Larry-WQ6V Chuck-KI6TG R~sty-KJ6SZ<br />
~ Mike-WA6WKE ~ /lit lr'le-vbfWS<br />
* on reserve at present<br />
If I missplaced your name or you would<br />
like to be added to the list, please<br />
contact me ASAP via 146.730. We have<br />
several small tower projects coming up soon<br />
at the SO' level: cable check, 450 antenna,<br />
900MHz antennas, and rotation of several<br />
antennas.<br />
It has been suggested by some of our<br />
neighbors up the I-IS corridor that we<br />
might want to consider a 146.730 extension<br />
of coverage (TASMA approval of course) into<br />
that area since no other 146.730 repeater<br />
offers coverage and it is contiguous to our<br />
service area. Another possibility would be<br />
a link to low profile repeater serving that<br />
area that could be called up ·by tone<br />
control. If you think there is a need for<br />
something like this, please contact me.<br />
The I-IS area is along the Elsinor fault<br />
