1986 - Palomar Amateur Radio Club

VOLUNTEER EXAMINERS PROGRAM
Because of deviation from our tried, tested and proven routine of Vina de
Montegre picking up the key from Glendale Federal, on the morning of the
test session, the key remained locked in that institution. Four of us,
aware of this dilemma about 10:30 p.m. the Friday night before, did not
sleep well. Without filling these pages with our unsuccessful attempts to
get that key, let me say that a very wonderful lady, and one of the finest
probate and estate planning lawyers I have met, came to our rescue: Jenene
H. Nickerson graciously unlocked, for us,the doors to her suite at 846
Williamston street, only a block or so from the Glendale Fed site. W6DEY
and N6IE, the CW examiners, set up shop in Jenene's library. KB6DNR remained
at Glendale Fed to direct other examiners and test applicants to the
improvised test site. Jenene went about her work until the final applicant
had been tested, virtually insuring the session would not be canceled or
postponed. There were examiners and applicants everywhere. Jenene let us
take over her offices without any idea of compensation. However, if you
would like more information about her qualifications, I can refer you to
other club members who have used her fine services.
Congratulations are in order to Dan, WA6HYBi and Harold, W6JBP (a new
club member); who are now awaiting the arrival of their Extra Class licenses;
to Buck, KAORGQ, who not only passed his Advanced test, but who also
now holds a 20WPM code credit certificate; and to Benton, N6MVZ, who will
soon receive his General Class ticket. These success stories would not be
possible without the fine VE teams who so generously donate their Saturdays.
Those participating on 3/8 were: N6IE, W6DEY, W6YYV, WB6R, K6TQ,
W6HAW, K6HAV, KG6VX, and KB6DNR. Thanks to all.
DOWN THE TOOBE
Felix, N6IE, used a two cent postcard to tell us the article in last
month's Scope should have said he has been licensed for 55 years, not 50.
Many thanks to Ted, K6RF, and John, WB6MEI, for their donations of triband
beams to the Club. At least one of them (beams, not Ted or John) will
grace the mast of the Field Day CW station. Thanks to you both. Thanks
also to Charlie, KE6QV, for his donation to the Club of a battery charger
for repeater use; to Frank, N6AT, for the max-min thermometer; and to Bill,
KB6JWM, for the workbench.
The Club appreciates all that its members do for it. Thanks to Bill,
W6VDA, we have a supply of the FCC's Form 610 for the use of club members.
Thanks also to W9FQN for the time and trouble he has taken to tag with
prices the donated and estate equipment, haul it to the flea mart, and,
with N6GZI and others, sell much of it, turning a pretty penny for the Club
and the estates of K6NS and WD6ENK.
