FRESH FACE AT AUGUST CLUB MEETINGHomer Keesling WB9OZZ (with IU hat) was on hand for the August MARC meeting. At age 98 he still feels it's important to be active in amateur radio. Thanks to JR and Carol Osborne for getting Homer to the meeting. Homer became a ham in 1924. His license was signed by then president Herbert Hoover.

Club Picnic coming up!
Just a reminder to folks that the Mid-State Amateur Radio Club annual picnic is coming up quickly. The club voted early this year to move the picnic up one month, due to the extreme cold spell we had at last year's picnic. So here are the details....
For those unfamilar with the location of Union Christian Church, it's on 1267 East County Road 300 South, south of Franklin. You can click here for a map and driving directions. County Road 300 South can be reached by taking 31 to Nineveh Road in Franklin, and taking Nineveh Road to 300 South. The church can also be reached by taking State Road 135 south to 300 South, and turning Left. For our friends down south, you can reach County Road 300 South by taking Nineveh Road north from State Road 252. The above link should give you detailed and accurate directions from any point you wish. The church is on the south side of the road.
We hope to see everyone there! Don't miss the fun!

N9DE, SK
Bob DeSpain, N9DE, passed away on Sunday. He was a former RACES director, and was regarded as one of the founders and local experts in the field of Packet Radio. Bob was an expert in computers and computer programming, and was always willing to lend a helping hand to fellow amateurs. The airwaves will be a little less friendly, without his distinctive "N9DE, Greenwood" on them.
We'll all miss you, Bob!
