Hi all
Tonight I am sending a few thoughts to all.
**** This coming Tuesday, June 3 will be the TIPSnet 's last program for
the summer, time for a well
deserved vacation for all. Anne Tad and I want to thank everyone who has
been part of TIPSnet through
the years. We will keep you informed through this email reflector of
when we will restart in September.
The web site will remain up and going. In July we will change servers
going even stronger for you.
**** This coming Saturday June 7 is our first annual TIPSnet picnic and
gathering. We will all meet at
Gay City State Park on RT 85 in Hebron, CT from 11am til ???. It will be
a bring your own that way
you're on your own for food. Should be a great day to remember TIPSnet's
past and chart it future.
I will post a good set of directions on the web site this week.
(www.tipsnet.org)
Gay City is a large state park with swimming, Hiking and accessible
picnicing. Lets make it memorable,
lets start a new tradition.
**** For Tuesday's TIPSnet ....Bring your fondest Field Day memories of
past and hopes for the future. Bring
your clubs Field Day plans. Let's publicize them together,
Field Day is when we ALL have a chance to have fun and make a positive
impact on our hobby, whether a
multi-op multi-station multi-mode giant or the single op in the back of
his car it all means the same. It gives Ham Radio
the chance to showcase what we do and how we have fun. We are either
serious hardened contesters on a hillside going
after every point or another group that would rather make a casual
contact or two and eat eat swim and be merry,
The are all types.
The purpose is to showcase all of our hobby, offiicially, unofficially
and whatever else we can do; Think be unique
the new antenna, the new mode, a new country, watch a new ham talk round
rhe world for the first time -- THATS Field Day
I knw I had my first contacts to Australia and ngland during a Field Day
past. Don't tell anyone I even broke
the rules and ragchewed with both.
Make a difference show off our hobby let the Mayors, Town Managers,
Emergency Management groups, and
media see what we can do in a positive light. We do that we've done the
job. It doesn't take a large set-up.
Thats all for now.
