We are also mentioned on page 82 in the Field Results as we were #1 in the 7A Category.   Congratulations to all of the club members who participated in these achievements!

We will be participating in the Rookie Roundup CW on December 18,  2016.  All club members who have received their first license in the past 3 years are welcome to join the team.  This is a rookie contest and all participants are new to CW – rates are slow – so don’t be concerned if you are only a beginner at CW.    See the calendar entry https://www.n1fd.org/event/arrl-rookie-roundup-cw-contest/ for details.  Contact Anita at [email protected] if you are interested in participating.

Wayne, KB1HYL hid his Fox, which gave us all a challenge to find it.  Here are Jamey and the Wayne getting ready to hunt the fox.

We had a potluck meal and more good food than we could eat.  Thanks to all members who brought food and to Merle for bringing her grill and doing the grilling. John welcomed a special guest who was quite friendly. Now that was quite an eyeball QSO!
