WNYDXA PICNIC NEWS
Be sure to mark your calendars reserve Saturday afternoon, August 12th, for the annual WNYDXA Picnic. We will gather about 1 PM at the pavilion in the North Forest Park in Williamsville. As usual, the club will provide the eats. Munchies and clams will be available and Peter, K2RSK, expects that the cooking of hot dogs, sausages, and hamburger will commence about 2PM. More details to be announced.
As a special treat, Bill, K2QQ, has donated four (4) Baofeng dual band HT's as door prizes. All licensed Hams attending the picnic will be eligible for the drawing. Be sure to register for the drawing when you arrive. (You need not be present at the drawing time in case you have to leave early.) Some of the features of these 2m / 70 cm dual band rigs are listed below. More information is shown on the ebay listing at:

Hopefully this will help encourage more people to monitor and socialize on our repeater.
Bill, WB2AIV
