September Meeting A Success
September meeting of HODARS was great fun. Frank McLemore, N4TKT had a great program on grounding and protection against lightening. He even had gifts for everyone in attendance.
Supper was very good with lots of fellowship. We were honored to have Dean, KI4LLX visiting us and hope he returns soon. Stew, K4JOP joined the club at the meeting and we look forward to having him and his wife, Aina, KD4SCH join us often.

September VE Test Session
The HODARS VE team is having a ARRL VEC testing session on September 13, 2010. The location is the Goodwill Industries Career Center in Midway Plaza Shopping Center on Pepperell Parkway in Opelika, AL. All three license class exams will be offered, depending on prior registration of applicants for General and Extra class tests.
The session begins at 6:15 PM CT and prior registration is strongly suggested. Registration guarantees we have the correct number of VEs and supplies on hand. Walk-ins for Tech class exams will be accepted, but other license class walk-ins will depend on having proper VEs on hand. For further details on what to bring, and other important information, check our VE Exam Page. To register for the test session or for any questions, contact our VE team
New Meeting Place
After visiting several different locations for our monthly meetings, HODARS has decided on a permanent meeting place. We now meet at the Health Resource Center, across from East Alabama Medical Center on Pepperell Parkway in Opelika. The Health Resource Center has been very accommodating to us and the meeting room is very comfortable and has several hi-tech amenities, which enhance our program presentations.
Our normal meeting time is 7 PM CT, but we usually meet for supper at 6 PM before the meeting. Sometimes we meet at a local restaurant, but starting in September, we will be periodically having supper in the meeting room at the Health Resource Center. The cost of the meal at the HRC is $5.00 per person. Check our web site monthly for supper details.
