Uh, Todd.? I do still some (many) W7ED QSL cards? but....they are
the plain Jane ones we used
after Field Day, not the shiny ones with the logo.? ;-(
Don, n7flt
P.S.: if anyone has contact info for W7YB I still have some (30)
of their QSL cards from
when we used that call sign.? KE7X? didn't want to do the QSLing
so I got stuck with it.

Re: ARRL Foundation Club Grant - Application Deadline Approaching
I think you need a valid project and you also need significant matching funds to be competitive and for those reasons I would not expect that GHRC would submit on this. There might be some future opportunity where we have an actual project that meets the eligibility requirements of the Grant program and if we had some significant amount of matching funds, say something like 50% that could look appealing to ARRL and we would have a valid application.? Even if the grant program is not requiring matching funds, there is no doubt that some level of investment by the club thereby making the Grant supplementary will be advantageous for a successful application.

The thrust behind my bringing this up is it seems to cover the 2 projects that have been discussed at meetings - getting youth and scouts involved and emergency communications. ?Is there equipment needed for that which may be expensive and a grant helpful?
Re: timing - there is a document in the ARRL site with fillable questions: 10 questions on the Transformative Impact and 8 on Execution. Capability.?
It does not seem that rigorous.?
See a sample filing for student outreach:
You do have to be accountable for what is to be done and provide progress updates.?
This could open the door and move some things forward. What the old saying nothing ventured, nothing gained. Or - you miss 100% of the shots you don¡¯t take.?
As I said, I¡¯m happy to help but I don¡¯t have the technical knowledge on what what would be useful for the communications project. ?

From the N1MM W7ED Field Day Log:
ARRL Field Day (June) - 2024-06-22 1800Z to 2024-06-23 2100Z - 147
QSO
?
Total Time On 07:33? (453 mins)
----------------------------
I didn't realize we operated so little!? Only 71/2 hours of the
24 we were allowed!
We tried a CDE rotor at FD some years ago. It
added complexity to the tower installation
and a 5 or 8 conductor cable and another control
box for very little gain in Qs.? Using a tag
line to point the beam is not the problem. To add
contacts we need to OPERATE!
W7ED went more than 13 hours with no operator,
hence no contacts (from 0139 Z to 1456 Z).
Hopefully next year we'll have a multi-band dipole
or a vertical up for night use....if we can get
anyone to operate then....night time is THE
time to learn:? slower, not so hurried or harried.? Great for
learning how to operate in the FD environment
(Section abbreviations, classes of operation,?
timing, voicing - SSB)? as well as learning how to
use the various
lights (AC/DC), furnace, stove, & batteries in
the GHRC trailer.
Perhaps next May & June we can have programs to show folks
how to
operate with N1MM, the radio, the trailer and the
generator?
