Sarasota Amateur Radio Association

General Meeting

June 15, 2004

 

 

Meeting was called to order at 8:01PM by Pres. Martin.

 

Introductions and call sign swapping were made (I used my own call this time!) while our guest speaker for the evening, DENNIS, K1YPP, prepared for said engagement.

 

DENNIS, apparently a fairly frequent visitor to what I would refer to as extremely COLD climates, gave a highly interesting talk with accompanying slide show of his 1987 trip thru Canada to Alaska. This trip was done on a motorcycle (and not a larger variety at that) with just the necessities that included (of course) a twenty-meter ham rig just so he could do some CW in the land of the midnight sun. Actually, he did other things also, like changing a tire, staying well away from bears and not catching a cold.

 

A very interesting evening, DENNIS fielded questions well thru the refreshment period.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 9:30PM. Motion-Fritz; 2^nd-Vivia.
