My next one-day Tech Class will take place on Saturday, May 2, 2015 at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum in downtown Ann Arbor. The class will start at 9 am and run until 3:30 pm, at which time the license exam will be given.

There is a $10 fee for the class, except for students under the age of 18, who can attend free. I use this money to pay for expenses at our station, WA2HOM, at the museum. Also, I ask that you register beforehand. I like to limit the number of students to about 20, so that each student gets enough attention, and so that the volunteer examiners can administer the test expeditiously.

To register for the Saturday, May 2 class, send $10 to cwgeek@kb6nu.com via PayPal or send a check for $10 to:

Dan Romanchik
1325 Orkney Dr.
Ann Arbor, MI 48103

When I get your registration, I will put you on another e-mail list and send you more details a week or two before the class. After you register, download my study guide from http://www.kb6nu.com/tech-manual. The PDF version is free.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

At the ARROW monthly meeting on April 8, 2015, two names were drawn from all who had already purchased 2015 Dayton Bus Trip tickets. Congratulations to the following people who have each won a ticket to the Dayton Hamvention:
Timothy Eldridge, KD8LW

They both will be contacted by our Treasurer, Harvey, KB8MUP.

N1MM is the logging program we use at Field Day. It is also used for other contests and even for general station logging purposes. It interfaces with your radio and automatically logs the frequency and mode of the contact. It is capable of linking with other N1MM loggers via WiFi to share/duplicate the logs and it links with various DX Spotter networks. Plus many many other really cool features!

N1MM+ is a “new and improved” version that Dave N8SBE will be demonstrating. I don’t know what the new ‘features’ are, so I look
forward to Dave’s presentation.
