from the pres:
Hello All!
The seasons have changed yet again and along with summers passing, we say fair well to Chuck, NX6W, as he moves to a new life in Washington State.
Chucks spirit and dedication to TARA is a legacy we can carry on by giving a little extra of our time and energies to insure Amateur Radio is represented at it's highest level.

We missed TARA's emergency call out drill this October, but we participated in the California State Hospital drill at BARTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL on November 14th. While we have been involved in this drill before, this year was the best ever for our successful reacting to setup and operational changes. And this year, Dick Young provided the local newspaper with PR info for TARA's involvment in the emergency drill.

Finally, our 147.24 repeater is experiencing interference problems, that I hope to have solved before the snow flies. Check the repeater report for more details.

Don't forget the November 9th general meeting... Christmas Plans to be Discussed!

Happenings:

Fair Well Chuck! NX6W has moved to a new QTH! He's a "7" in Washington State living near his son. A Send off at the October Meeting was arranged with a plaque honoring Chuck for his dedication to TARA and Amateur Radio. A few stories were passed around, but the best was Peggys ladder story!!Chucks list of services would fill a book, to say the least. We will miss him and hope to use Amateur Radio to keep in touch. You might check 7.178.8+/- at 15:15 local time on weekdays to catch up with Chuck. Also, wa6ewv is looking for a link to get down here on 2 meters.
