Club meets every Saturday 10 A.M. at Queen City Truck Stop. All visitors and
new members are welcome. Some folks come early for breakfast.
Don't forget to check into the Tuesday evening 2-meter net at 7 P.M. each
week on 146.700. Any announcements, emergency traffic, or a simple hello and
73 can be passed along to others. Let us know how you are doing. Net controller
is Bill KB5ASR. THANK HIM FOR A GREAT JOB.
Field day is on June 22 & 23 at Okatibbee Reservoir Dam East Bank Pavilion.
Fish Fry will be held Saturday evening around 4 o'clock. Overnight camping
will be permitted. Bring wife and kids. Come join the fun and fellowship.
At the time of printing the controller for our repeater has not arrived. We
will need help with installation. Any volunteers are welcome.
Next testing session in Meridian will be in September for all who wish to
upgrade their license.
For WD5HLD - Sunspots are low and should be expected to stay that way throughout
the rest of this year. The minimum is centered around April though June of
this year. An average flux of 72 for June 1996 and also October 1996 though
February 1997 is expected. Spring of 1998 should present a radically different
picture. By then the average flux will climb toward 100. By April 1999, the
average solar flux is projected to be 158, rising to 192 a year later! The
next cycle is expected to peak near the turn of the century - in August 2000.
This information according to Tad Cook, KT7H, Seattle, WA
