Good idea Robin!
I think we will start a discussion with the club at the next meeting and make a punch list for groups?we should reach out to. The grant money we received does indicate that we need to start with Scouts, but then we can go from there, so some of this outreach may need to come out of club funds.
Keep the ideas coming, though! Really appreciate everyone's support here.

Hi gang:
Am reluctantly going to sell my HQ140x while I can still get my old friend up the stairs and out of the basement as it is a true boat anchor. I am about thirteen years older than the radio.The unit is cosmetically in very good to exceptional condition on the outside and very good on the inside. All the dark maroon knobs match and the tuning is gear driven, no dial cord! Sn 697 so it was likely built in 1953. It works fine but in the interest of full disclosure the band switch needs cleaning and the unit would benefit from an alignment. Radio is very stable after a brief warm up, see the Eham reviews under amateur receivers. Asking $175 as that is at or below the low end market price from what i see. Would consider trade for something lighter like a HQ100a, HQ110a, HQ170 ,HQ180, DrakeR4B, Hallicrafters of some flavor or ? with some cash added either way +/-. Need something to go with the DX60b. Will be listing on QTH.com but thought I would try local first as the shipping will be outlandish at close to $150. The radio is a true classic and one of the finest of its era. If interested can send pictures by cell phone.

Neil,
Thank you for all your great ideas!? Also another Leon had suggested approaching the public libraries about filling a display window with ham gear and info about the ham hobby.? All great ideas for displaying and presenting to the public.? I will add them to our club ideas bin!? Thank you for sharing these great ideas--keep em coming!

Hello all,
At the last meeting outreach for recruiting new hams was discussed.
A couple of thoughts. In the past we would use some of the funds from
GHRC to buy a new set of ARRL study and operating books for the Bozeman
Public Library as a donation. Generally we would replace the books every
two years. I believe that the ARRL has a package price for a set. It
might have been $200.00.
Another idea is the science school down by the Mall has shown and
interest in setting up a station there.

MSU's W7YB Monday Simplex Meetings and Repeater Net Meetings Since Beginning of the Fall Semester 2024
Perhaps someone else has been recently successful in joining MSU's amateur radio frequencies!
My last contact was in April 2024. I emailed W7YB Radio Club <w7yb.msu@...> at the end of September 2024, asking if they were meeting by radio, but I did not receive a response.?
MSU's previous W7YB Simplex Net on Mondays at 8:30 p.m. FM 145.000, 146.000, and 147.00 (145.125 backup).
MSU's previous W7YB Repeater Net on Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. FM (offset minus 5.00 MHz) 442.700 transmit and 447.700 (PL tone 77 Hz).
MSU's previous W7YB Repeater Rag Chew on Saturdays at 2:26 p.m. (same settings as on Thursdays).
To confirm that I have not made a contact since then, I attempted again tonight, 12/9/2024 (Monday).
