The July meeting will be our annual Go-Kit Show and Tell, and we encourage everyone to bring their field operating gear and ideas to demonstrate and discuss. We’re stepping things up a bit this year, showing off the Multnomah County ARES communications trailer and hosting a pot-luck picnic and barbeque.
The meeting will be held on Thursday, July 28 from 7 PM to 9 PM at Sellwood Park in Portland. We have reserved Picnic Area I, which is at the north end of the park, near the parking lot, and we’ll be starting to set things up around 6 PM. There will be room around the picnic area to show off your go-kits (bring a camp-style table if you’d like; just don’t plan to stake anything into the ground).
Thanks to individual donations we collected at the last meeting, Multnomah County ARES will be providing burgers, hot dogs, sodas, plates, and utensils for the picnic. Members are encouraged to bring their go-kit, a side dish to share, their family, and anyone they may know who is interested in Amateur Radio.
