HELP! Due to my work schedule I am not able to attend. Our friends Gus and his wife want to attend and I need to find a ride for them. They live in Mangilao close to the intersection of Route 10 and Route 15. Gus is planning to bring his word famous enchiladas and I need to find transportation for them.

October Meeting Notice

This Tuesday, October 2, is the monthly meeting of the Marianas Amateur Radio Club. Start time is 7:00 p.m. at the KSTO studio on Nimitz Hill, about 1 mile south of the Top 'O the Mar. There is plenty of parking in the rear of the building and the meeting entrance is from the parking lot.

Everyone is invited whether you have a Ham Radio license or not. Please bring your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers or strangers off the street. Young, old, middle age, single or married. All will be made to feel welcome.

We will be talking about the proposed program to loan radios to licensed Hams who lack equipment. The Club will acquire radios and loan them to that Hams (particularly new Hams) can gain enough experience and familiarity to become comfortable buying their own equipment.
We will also discuss the annual Club Christmas Party as well as our activities with radio, emergency preparedness, operating practices and the ever popular Tech Lesson.

Also, it there is interest, I will give a brief travelogue about my recent trip to Switzerland. Since this is not Ham Radio, it will start after the Club meeting has ended.
If you have any questions about the meeting, the Club, the location, how to get a license or just want to talk, please reply to this E-mail at wh2m@hotmail.com or call me at 477-7737 or 653-5421.
