Directions to Meeting: Take the Cretin-Vandalia exit from I94 and take Cretin Avenue six blocks south to the St. Thomas campus. Murray-Herrick Campus Center (MHCC), site of the meeting is off of Cleveland Ave. South, which is two blocks east of Cretin. Enter the parking lot from Cleveland Ave. South, between Ashland and Portland Avenues. Going south on Cleveland, the entrance to the parking lot is at the bottom of a hill. Not much of a hill, but it’s helpful to know about it. Then turn right (west) into the parking lot.

The MAP  on the Directions page now shows the best parking in Lot G (STU parking rules are not enforced after 1800, so the early birds get the best spots). Room 155 is thru the door to the west to MHCC.

CQ 160 SSB Contest February 26-28th, or Field Day in the cold‏

Hello fellow Hams,
I've mentioned this at meetings before.
Since most of us don't have antenna farms down to the 160 Meter band, but always wanted to play radio down there, here are two chances to do so. The CQ 160 contest is  SSB  February 26 - 28th. Mining Club won awards in both categories last year and in prior years too. It runs a half wave dipole at 70 feet, IC-756 Pro II, amp to 1KW, computer keyboard ops and logging, a nice contest station. Food preparation equipment and beverages are on site, BYO snacks.  Location is Tartan Park, near our Field Day site, downside is no real restroom for miles, but plenty of trees.

Contest is a month off, so plan ahead and get in your choice position.

Respond to Ed, WB0VHF or me, and have some fun in the cold.

Thanks much,
Dale, N0PEY
