The August 15 meeting of the Arlington Amateur Radio Club will be held at the usual time (1930L) and place (4333 Arlington Blvd).
Phil Wherry will be presenting on Cell Phone Infrastructure.
Secretary AI4QB will be attending for the first time in a few months. Great thanks to Secretary Emeritus Mike/NW3V for taking the minutes in my absence.
Same as last month: I will be sending a packet of QSL cards to the outgoing bureau at ARRL shortly after the meeting- if you have cards you want to send out please bring them to the meeting. Please remember that we must provide proof of ARRL membership for everyone using a club packet like this, so please bring a copy of your ARRL membership card or QST mailing label. I'll keep these on file once I get them so this should be a one-time thing.
Hope to see everyone at the meeting!
73,
--Adam, AI4QB, AARC Secretary
