ANNUAL PICNIC IN BRENGLE PARK ON AUGUST 24
Brengle Park is in Vista about a mile east of Vista Way on Vale Terrace,
Vale Terrace is just across Vista Way from Glendale Fed. PARC will be at
the east end of the park. As in recent years, the picnic will be a pot
luck affair with surnames starting with A through L bringing a meat or
casserole dish and M through Z bringing a salad. Lunch will be at 1200 and
the drawing at 1300 or after lunch. The picnic will start at 1000.
Prizes have not been announced yet so you'll just have to wait and see.
Plan now to come out and win the KWM-380, or Globe Chief, as the case may
be. Get your tickets for the drawing at the August club meeting or the
picnic. You, or your agent, must put your tickets in the hopper.
JULY CLUB MEETING
At the July club meeting, we heard the minutes of the previous meeting;
and the Treasurer's and various committee reports. Phil Leonelli, WF6L,
gave us a most interesting demonstration of his electronic one-man band.
We had a great time socializing to Phil's music. A very nice evening with
more than the usual chance to meet and talk to folks. Wonderful no-cal
goodies and coffee by Vina and company. Somebody brought some GREAT cake
(I hope it was no-cal!!).
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING
The Executive Committee meets on the second Thursday of the month at 7:30
of the p.m. Club members are welcome to attend and observe. Contact
club officer for the location of the meeting.
At the July meeting W9FQN informed the Committee that the ARRL has designated
PARC a Special Service Club, but the correspondence had not yet been
received. The Committee voted to spend no more than $225 for picnic
prizes due to the unexpected increase in our liability insurance. The
continuing problem of KOJPK/R's interfering intrusion into major portions
of our coverage area, and correspondence thereto relating were discussed.
FIELD DAY
We had a dandy time! So did el senor Murphy! The 75M generator quit
during the early morning hours and left KA6HZF and his logger, W1LY Coyote,
logging by flashlight (thank heavens the rig was battery powered!). 15M
was an hour or so late getting under way due to rig problems. The HF
packet station never did get things going. N6IE thought for a while that
he had a broken wrist (we're glad you're ambidextrous on the keyer Felix).
And unexpected family visitations left some of us out of the fray: But a
grand time,was had by all. Scores were about like those of last year, but
somewhat 1mproved. The beam donated by K6RF and refurbished by KAORGQ
performed per specs for the CW station, and Buck's "mobile tower" - a 50­
footer! - did its job. The 40M Delta Loop also did its share (maybe that's
what we need for 40 CW next year). The guys on 20M really cranked out the
contacts and most of us had a look at their computer logging and how i~
simplified dupe checking and logging. VHF packet radio worked fine an~
there was a contact on 10 gHz by WA7GRW, the Amana Kid. Wait'll next year!
