Hello SARC and Friends
Happy New Year to everyone! I hope you enjoyed the holidays with family and friends. Wow, now it is time to get used to writing 2023. Last year had too many 2's. The terrible 2's.
Well here we are in a new year and hopefully its better than the last. Judging from the collapse of my email client due to a Windows and an Thunderbird upgrade that didn't play well together it hasn't started off as well as hoped. Your suggestions for a new email client would be appreciated. I think I am done with Thunderbird. Fortunately I was able to piece things together with the backups.
Anyway here we go. It was very gratifying to see some exciting email traffic courtesy of Paul VE3GPB/VE3KU and Adrian VA3NNA about a QRP transceiver build. There seems to be quite a lot of interest in this and as suggested this would make a great group build. We can do a joint build over several Tuesdays at the Montgomery Centre were we can learn from each other on the assembly and testing of this very cool radio. There are may options concerning the kits to purchase such as SM device populated boards etc. Let's discuss this on Tuesday during the club Hybrid meeting. I am sure some of our Toronto club members may also be interested.
We also should put together the task list for the postcard mailer and get that underway. Adrian has done a terrific job on the graphics which we can review on Tuesday.
Please bring your ideas on targets to hit with the call sign data we have collected. The first step is to send out 100 cards as a test to see how many responses we obtain.
We also have the year to plan for group outings, events and social gatherings. So please bring along your ideas.
See you on Tuesday (hopefully in person)
