Our club’s regular monthly meeting is held on the last Tuesday
of each month (except December) beginning at 7:30pm, at East Baptist Church,
6850
Monroe Rd (next to East Mecklenburg High School, near
Conference Drive). All visitors are Welcome.
Club meeting is where we can all come together to see old
friends, make new friends, meet the person that goes with the voice and the
callsign, find someone to help with a radio problem, learn others’ experience
with a piece of gear, or just plain yak with someone. We tell war stories,
encourage new Hams, encourage old Hams, divulge our secret techniques of operating
or fixing, discuss current Ham radio events, promote upcoming public service
events or remember those we have done. For most meetings, we try to enlist
an interesting presentation of a program topic about something in the communications
world. We have had some very interesting topics presented. Sometimes we explain
what’s required and how to accomplish the best hamfest in the southeast, sometimes
we horsetrade radio fleas at a club auction, and when December comes, we get
all gussied up for our annual Holiday party.
It’s important to come to club meetings because
that’s where everything comes together. You get to lobby members of our Board
of Directors (and they really like to hear what everyone is interested in because
it makes their job easier). Club meetings are such an important part of our
group that we require attendance of at least 7 of the last 12 meetings to be
eligible for nomination to our Board of Directors.
