Last Meeting<br />
(not quite)<br />
Attendance at the June meeting was<br />
78 including 4 visitors but the sign-in<br />
sheet failed to make it every place in the<br />
theater. Next meeting is at the CSUSM.<br />
See map on page 1.<br />
The June program was by W9FQN<br />
on the club's autopatch system.<br />
Magnetic Signs<br />
The magnetic sign company that<br />
made the "emergency signs" that you<br />
could "slap" on your car doors after 20<br />
years has gone out of business.<br />
A new company has been found that<br />
will make the same sign for $14/sign.<br />
The minimum order is 10 signs and Al<br />
W6WYN so far has 4 orders.<br />
Please contact AI ASAP to place<br />
your order. Alw6wyn@aol.com<br />
(your editor who participated in the Iron Man<br />
communications this past month had a magnetic<br />
sign on each car door. When he was<br />
stopped by police they offered to give him a<br />
police "escort" to his communications spot!<br />

(here is a copy of an e-mail your editor received<br />
concerning the CSC meeting place -Ed)<br />
PARC may start holding their meetings<br />
back at the safety center whenever<br />
they want. They are not going to remodel<br />
the meeting rooms for some time<br />
to' come. I hope this makes you and the<br />
members of PARC feel they have a<br />
home again. Talk to you on the Sunday<br />
on the ARES net. Have a good day.<br />

President's Message<br />
Allen Maslowski N1DCA@amsat.org<br />
It's July and summer is officially<br />
here. We all had a great time at Field<br />
Day practicing our emergency communications.<br />
Now what do we do? Well, with<br />
summer brings vacations. Now here's a<br />
change to carry over a little of Field<br />
Day for ourselves. What do I mean?<br />
Well ifyou are fortunate to have one<br />
of those small HAM radios or if you<br />
have built your own, you could include<br />
a little hamming while on vacation, (if<br />
the XYL permits.) I know from experience<br />
that with very little power and just<br />
a wire antenna you can work just about<br />
anywhere in the world. The fun is in the<br />
trying.<br />
Not only will this satisfy your needs<br />
of hamming, for those of you that just<br />
can't bear the fact that you have to leave<br />
your hobby at home, but it's practice for<br />
Field Day and contesting. Your vacation<br />
is a mini-field day all your own.<br />

Since most QRP equipment is pg.3<br />
CW, because of the fact that CW -75<br />
\,411<br />
seems to get through where SSB Jllly<br />
will not, it is the preferred mode.<br />
There's a lot of fun to be had with CWo<br />
Contesting is just one thing. Not disturbing<br />
the rest of the family during the early<br />
hours of your vacation is also definitely<br />
an advantage!<br />
Time is an important factor in any<br />
hobby. The trick is to balance your time<br />
to include what you like to do. If the<br />
situations are right, Hamming on vacation<br />
can. be fun for you and your family.<br />
Having time for your radio hobby is<br />
difficult at times even when you're not on<br />
vacation. Just remember that balance in<br />
your life is more important than anything<br />
else in life. So if you can't get a little<br />
Hamming to fit into your vacation, guess<br />
what?<br />
You will always have something to<br />
look forward to when you get home.<br />
Have fun on your vacations this year,<br />
and hope you can include a little hamming<br />
too! See you on the air! 73's,<br />
