- SET (Simulated Emergency Test)
The ARRL Calendar was wrong on its given

later date (see John Patrick for details).
We may also contac OUDPS to see if they have anything like this on an annual
or semiannual basis.

No Change. However, we will continue to watch the
possibilities closely.

Shortwave Receiver We set a date of January 13 for this and will postpone the
January Meeting until that day (a week later). For this, members and those
interested are asked to bring their own soldering iron, if they have one. Also,
attendees are asked to bring their kit. See
Brian McDonald
if you would like to order one of those listed above.
