Hi to everyone. Sorry the

Hills Ham Club will be on August 2nd, at 7 PM at the ham club.
There will a vote on the application for membership for Jerry
Kutche, N9LYA, and his XYL Retha, KC9DDP, at this meeting.
The rest of the agenda has not been determinded.
****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
There will be a special events
station at the Mitchell Persimmon Festival. This will be
the last full week of September and Hal, W8AIR, and Tim, K9US,
are running the show. If you would llike to help out by
participating please contact one of them. The callsign
for the special events station is K9P.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
We received a call from a local
ham that said he was talking to Norm Taylor who is setting up
a historical dayshow at Murray Forest Park on August 12th.
He said he might be interested in having a display of
old time ham radio, CW with a straight key, display at this
event. If anyone is interested please contact Keith,
N9KH, at 275-3415 as soon as possible.

Two foxhunt temas, Brandon and
Diana, KB9SNP and KB9WRX, and Larry, WA9FFZ, showed up to niff
out the fox. Mike, KF9NP. Mike was hidden at the end of
a gravel road named Mystic Lake Road in the
Lawreceport area. The road ended at the river and Mike's
2 meter beam was pointed up the river, making for interesting
multipath. Larry was the first one to arrive 1 hour into
the hunt and logged 12.5 miles. Brandon and Diana
arrived 15 or so minutes later with 18.2 miles. Diana
commented that they took the scenic route, a phrase all fox
hunters have probably used at one time or antother.
Erratic signal bearings, reflected signals, wrong turns,
backtracking and such spells disaster if one of the hunters
drives almost straght to the fox den, which seems to be the
case for nearly every hunt. Back Yard Burgers was the
gatering place for those involved. Keith, N9KH, and Ann,
K9NOT, joined int he fellowship.
Larry, WA9FFZ, will be the fox on
August 20th. Starting time will be 5:30. A
reminder will be sent nearer the time for the hunt.
