Fall 2023 we had the following programs at our meetings:

Oct ’23 – AE0EE discussed Fox Hunting including an indoor hunt
Nov ’23 – K0AD did a presentation on CW Academy
Dec ’23 – Our annual pizza gathering at Davanni’s
We are returning to the pre-COVID tradition of not meeting in July and August, and particularly so because the first Tuesday is July 4th. Enjoy the holiday, and we’ll see you on September 5th or at a semi-spontaneous event before then (e.g. W1AW/0 MN week 2)!
With forecast bad weather, the January meeting will be on Zoom only at 7:30 PM CST Tuesday 1/3/2023. Look for details on the email list, or contact Bill (AE0EE) via the info on the contact page.
Due to the election on November 2nd (more info at the Secretary of State’s page), the Bloomington Amateur Radio Association monthly meeting is postponed to Tuesday November 9th at 7:30 PM. This meeting will be virtual and a link will follow on the email list. If you are not on the list and would like an invitation, please contact Bill by email (ae0ee#arrl.net).
