The annual Vermont Ham breakfast will be this Saturday, January 19th, at 9:00 AM until noon at the Lincoln Inn at the 5 Corners in Essex Junction.
The purpose of the gathering is for Vermont hams to great, meet, and eat. We had such a gathering last year and over 40 hams came out from all over the area.
The first part of the agenda is eating, something that we likely are all experts in. Breakfast and lunch are available off the menu. Sometime after 10:00, we start our discussion topic, “Ways to build on-air activity.” A number of hams have commented that local activity is down and hams, new and old are frustrated in setting up stations and making contacts. This will be a perfect opportunity to share ideas on this topic which is core to amateur radio.
If there is any other pressing topic you would like to discuss or present, there is some time for that too. But please let me know that ahead of time. We hope to be finished up by noon.
So remember, the breakfast is this Saturday. Come any time between 9:00 and noon. Please let all your ham radio friends know about the breakfast, both on the air, and via e-mail and Internet. Although it is a bit of trip, we hope to see a good number of hams from out of the area as well. Local talk in for the event will be on RANV’s Bolton 145.15 MHz repeater (600 KHz negative offset, 100 Hz P/L tone).
