Here it is -- a little shorter than usual.

The AARC 2010 Technician licensing course got started after Mother Nature intervened and imposed a mandatory wait period.

We have eight students including three kids.

The first class session was on 20 Feb - A week after the original start date. Parking was extremely limited due to the massive snowfall and lack of snow plowing. A single lane was cleared to the top of the hill.

Thanks to Rick/KK4GV and Cody/KB3POM, a path was shovelled to the front door.

On Saturday, a few brave souls made their way to the snowbound AARC clubhouse to start the 2010 Field Day Morse Code Training Class.

Morse code training will start Saturday at Noon at the AARC Clubhouse.

+ Weather permitting and
+ If the DFRC driveway and parking area has been cleared of snow and
+ a path has been cleared to the front door of the clubhouse.

Greetings.

Below is from this year's ARRL Field Day package:

Dear Field Day Participant:

The Amateur Service has as one of its Part 97.1 purposes “the continuation and extension of the amateur's unique ability to enhance international goodwill.” We are more than casual observers or bystanders on this global stage – we are participants in that magical playground. And I am proud to say:

I’m a Ham – My Playground Is The World!

Greeting Code Fans and Wannabes!

Just a quick reminder of the stellar training event of 2010!

The first class session of the 2010 Morse code training program will be held at the AARC clubhouse on Saturday, 20 February at Noon. This session will last about 90 minutes (maybe less), All other classes will last about an hour.

There will be a code quiz at this and all subsequent code class sessions.

Greetings.

That's right! Our participation in the New Mexico QSO Party is CANCELLED due to the pending snow storm. I doubt that we could locate our pre-set holes for the pipes that support the vertical antennas!

The next event is the Oklahoma QSO Party which will be on 20-21 March. Reminder: we will most likely operate only on Saturday, 20 March.
