The first meeting of the W8UM Amateur Radio Club will be held on September 15, 2011 (Thursday), at 6:30 pm in 1303 EECS on North Campus. Those of you who are already radio hams will be able to ragchew with fellow radio hams, those of you who are not will be given an opportunity to learn more about ham radio and all of you will be given the opportunity to learn more about the Club, its facilities and help decide what activities the Club should pursue this year.

As part of the agenda, we've asked Prof. William Becher (AA8RW), a fellow radio ham and retired adjunct EECS professor, to acquaint us with some of the exciting activities the Club might undertake this year along with a brief overview of the Club and explain the simple path to becoming an FCC licensed ham radio operator. Also on the agenda is a tour of the Club radio shack.

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting and joining us in a year of camaraderie and great fun.

Pizza and soda will be served, so kindly RSVP your attendance so that we can make appropriate orders.
