The Iowa QSO Party will be Saturday, October 17, 2009 from 9 am to 6 pm CDT. So, let's all get on our radios and make a good showing for Iowa. For more info, see the Ottumwa, IA, Radio Club web site, http://www.wa0dx.org/iaqsoparty.html.

The next meeting of the Story County Amateur Radio Club will be at 7:30 pm, Thursday, September 3, 2009, at the 4-H building on the southwest corner of 13th Street and Stange Road in Ames.

The program for the September SCARC meeting will be show and tell for those members who would like to bring something to show the club (QSL card, bit of history, project you have completed or project you have started, etc.). If you do not have anything to share, come anyway to see what others bring. There will also be a brief discussion of plans for SCARC over the next year.

SCARC had a fantastic field day this year, with extra efforts by many of its members paying off. I have created a summary page showing the results from the last few years and links to the pictures and details. Enjoy!
