In the business part of the meeting attendees received updates on the program for the upcoming Ham Radio Symposium on April 27, a licensing exam session to be held on April 6, weekly net controls, and upcoming contests. Discussion topics included ways we have promoted ham radio recently and activities related to the upcoming solar eclipse. In recognition of her first HF contact, Barbara KC1SSY was presented a certificate from Phil N1EP, the Maine Section Manager, as he was her first contact.
The program, “Introduction to Logging,” was presented by Phil N1EP. He began with pencil-and-paper logs, emphasizing the important pieces of information to include in a log. He shared bits from his personal logs, including contacts with other club members. Phil then moved to a quick overview of popular computer logging programs, with a special focus on N3FJP.
