Many thanks to club member Dick, K4IQJ for the use of his Moseley Pro 67-C. He had no room to install it at his QTH, and let us put it up outside the club house.
We have used it in several contests and it works very well.

Spudniks and Ice Cream
Tonight was great fun. Deyl, KD4FD; Tom, KE4TWE; his wife Reta; Darrell, K9MUG; Bob, KA4PKB; and Cheryl, AA4YL met at the HRC to finish up as many Spudniks as we could. We did manage to finish one for Deyl, Darrell, and Tom. We will finish up the rest as soon as we can.
Tom, KE4KWE, Reta, and Bob, KA4PKB
John, KI4KUT dropped by for a few minutes and it was great to see him.
Tom and Reta paid dues and are now official members of HODARS. Great to have them with us.
Tom paid the club a great compliment. He said we know how to have fun. That we do.
After the Spudnik session, we all went to Dairy Queen for ice cream and some great talk.
Spud Gun Construction Finale
Tonight is the Spudnik finale at the Health Resource Center. We will meet at 6 PM to finish up the spud gun construction.
We will be meeting in the large room on the left as you come in the front door. This room has a lots of room to spread out.
Eat before you come, or bring a brown bag supper to eat in the meeting room.
Spud Gun Update
The Spudnik construction meeting went well. Six Spudniks were built for club members. Time did not allow for completion of all of them, but we will meet again this month and finish them up.
The best news was the presence of Deyl, KD4FD at the meeting. We have not seen Deyl in a while and it is great to have her back with the club.
What’s that sound?! It’s Spudnik!
The March meeting of HODARS is scheduled for March 8th. As usual the meeting will be held at the Health Resource Center across from EAMC on Pepperell Parkway. Meeting begins at 7 PM. Pre meeting supper will be at a local eating establishment, which has not been selected yet. We meet at 6 Pm for the evening meal.
The program this month is a do it yourself project, making spud guns. It should be very interesting, as Mr. Spudnik- Mike, KI4TWB will be heading up the instructions, with assistance from Bob, KA4PKB.
Mike and Bob constructed one for club use and it has worked really well.
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.
