Good morning everyone,
? ? Please welcome our newest Amateur Radio operator, KK7OGV. Kevin tested with us before the last meeting, going from nothing to General in one sitting. The FCC took a little longer than normal to get the call out there. But for us "old timers" Kevin, you still got yours fairly fast. I had to wait a month for mine, others had to wait just as long, but had to walk to the Portland FCC field office in two feet of snow, up hill both ways, to take a CW code test and a written exam.
For passing your test with us and to welcome you to the club, you will be getting a free years worth of membership to the GRRAA. Hopefully by tomorrow the 3rd party servers will have your call sign loaded and I will get you built into the Ham Club Online software.

So I have noticed that when I send and email to the group now, my email program sees the "W7GRA" and it auto fills in the members@..., instead of [email protected]. So I had to go in and remove that address from the program so it doesn't do it.
I have $50 to give to you at some point. Luke and Cathy both built antennas the other weekend.

ARRL Oregon Section Newsletter

To: "tyson.brooks5@..." <tyson.brooks5@...>
Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2023 at 10:01:51 AM PDT
Subject: Oregon Section Newsletter

Greetings Oregon Section,

The August Section Newsletter is running a couple of weeks late for
reasons that will be clear momentarily. For personal reasons, I need to
resign as Section Manager.

Though my tenure as Section Manager has been short, some forward
progress has been made and I have received a good deal of support in my
efforts. I want to thank everyone who has reached out in support and
offered suggestions. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

In the last newsletter, I expressed my vision for the forward movement
of the Section. One of my priorities has been to find someone to take on
the Section Manager role who would best continue that forward movement.
I am happy to report that the search for the next Section Manager was
successful.

Effective September 1, 2023, Scott Rosenfeld N7JI will take the reigns
as Section Manager. He came to my attention highly recommended, and
after having had a few opportunities to chat with him, I am very
confident that Scott will be a great Section Manager. I ask that
everyone join me in congratulating Scott and supporting him in his
efforts to serve the membership of the Section.

Thank you all again for your support.
