Attention all YLs

Note: I corrected the Hotel address and a few minor errors

Below is some information about the 2008 Young Ladies Radio League (YLRL) Convention. I've attended two of these events and they are fun! It's a great chance to meet other YLs who share our interests as well as some of the leading YL hams. I'm planning to attend this year as well.

I'll be driving to the convention (it's a two day drive) and if you'd like a ride let me know.

Do you remember the Dramatic Presentations that John Guyton N3ARN presented at the club? John is a retired fire fighter from Md. John has been with Cloud 9 Tours since 1998. He has led people into some of the greatest storms

Bob, Our members might be interested in John Guyton N3ARN's tornado search this year. He can be tracked and will have video. See the info below. Hope to see you all soon. 73 Dick K3HQ

Vistors to the Dayton Hamvention will encounter road construction, and lots of it. Hopefully this advance notice will help to minimize the problems staff, volunteers, attendees, speakers, and everyone will face in traveling to Hara Arena. As always, listen to Talk-In on 146.940 for late breaking details and assistance.

DAYTON, OH – May 1, 2008 Scout Leaders will be reaching out to Ham

Received the following information about the live video broadcasts on the way to and during the Dayton Hamvention....

You may have watched us the past couple years. We broadcast live streaming video and audio of the worlds largest hamradio convention. It is the Dayton Hamvention in Dayton , Ohio. Hams from all over the world come to this each year.

Antennae tuned?

Foxhunt can be a TWO stage hunt. Participants may hunt in just the lowest-mileage winning hunt, or also, the short on-foot hunt.

Activities after the hunts: Debrief at eatery.

No license required to hunt these animals, although as easy as it is to have an FCC ticket, it might help. Friends and family welcome too!
The only qualification or charge is to have fun safely and have your start odometer, call, etc. recorded. Some spare hunting equipment will be available.

Start: 9:A.M, Saturday, May 10

Three weeks from today (Friday, 25 April) the doors open at the 57th Hamvention®.

I am driving to Dayton this year. Brenda, Ryan and I will depart on Wednesday, 14 May around 2:15pm.

• We’ll be monitoring 146.520 and 146.430 along the way.

Saturday, April 12th, 2008 marked an historic event at the Anne Arundel Radio Club's clubhouse when the two youngest Volunteer Examiners (VE) accredited by the Laurel amateur Radio Club Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (Laurel VEC) and maybe the USA, and the oldest VE accredited by the Laurel VEC and maybe the USA, took part in the AARC's regularly scheduled Amateur Radio License Exam session.

AARC Jr will set up its 100 watt Field Day operations (That's 100 watts per station, not 100 watts total) on the front lawn of the Grace Evangelical Presbyterian Church at the corner of MD-2 and Birdsville Rd (aka MD-424).
