    Rich - N8SBZ Approached me at the Friday meeting asking if there were any members that would be willing to help him repair his wire antenna.  It is a roof mounted antenna that needs to have the feed line replaced.  Rich is not able to get on the roof to make the repairs himself. 

    Lets help get Rich back on the air.

    Dear MCRC member,

    Just a reminder that Field Day is next weekend, June 23rd and 24th. It will be held at Mercure Park in Rockwood. The park is located on Fort Rd between Woodruff and Huron River Drive. On Friday the 22nd we will be meeting at noon at Rockwood Family Restaurant, at the I-75 Rockwood exit just west of the exit on the south side of  (North) Huron River Drive. At about 2 PM we will go to the park to set up for Field Day. After set-up we will have a steak dinner for those who have ordered steaks. Field  Day begins on Saturday at 10 AM with a VE exam for those interested. Operating begins at 2 PM Saturday and lasts 24 hours until 2:00 Sunday. Then we tear down everything.

    It promises to be fun for all.

    Hoping to see you there,

    Don Novak, K8THU

    We've posted a new informational packet about amateur radio in the members link section.  

    We are asking assistance from the members to distribute the Introduction to Ham Radio flyer to local public spaces like community centers, churches, sporting good stores, and libraries.  

    The goal of this hand out is to introduce the public to the hobby of Amateur radio and build a general interest in the hobby.  

    If you are willing to help with this project please follow the following guidelines. 

    1.  Please notify the board where you would like to place the flyers.  We will be keeping a list of locations where we have placed flyers and what locations have been contacted.  

    2.  Get an O.K. from the board PRIOR to approaching a location.  We don't want to duplicate efforts or have multiple members 'harassing' locations.

    3.  Be sure to get approval from the locations management.  Give them a way of contacting the club.

    4.  Only distribute the Introduction to Ham Radio flyer.

    5.  Let the board know when you are successful in getting our information placed in a location.  

    If you have any questions please contact a member of the board.  

    Thank you for helping to spread the word of ham radio.
