'73, Larry Lutzak/WA2CNV President - ARC ECS (ECS ARC) John DeGallon/KC2DHJ RCS - ARC ECS Repeaters We will take the monies that were put aside for this event and put it towards our ARC ECS post-holiday 2010 Party. With the weather as bad as it is today, the park will be very mushy in the grassy areas, muddy in the dirt areas, and the tables, cooking areas and the like will all need a full day to dry out. Additionally, we had a number of people drop out. Stu Haimes/N2AUK, who had graciously volunteered to do all the supplies and delivery to Hempstead Lake State Park and I discussed the situation. Stu's wife and their daughter were going to a college day, and with Don Halmy in the hospital, confirmed attendance dropped to nine. Let's plan towards having everyone attend our annual ARC ECS Post-Holiday Party in 2010 and we'll make it a very enjoyable time. Have a good weekend for the remainder.
'73,
Larry Lutzak/WA2CNV President - ARC ECS (ECS ARC) www.arcecs.org MARCH MEETING POSTPONED TO MARCH 10TH DUE TO BAD WEATHER Due to the inclement weather and travel conditions, both our regular and repeater meetings, previously scheduled for February 3rd, have been rescheduled to Tuesday, February 10th, at 7:30 pm. Next Saturday marks the 100 year anniversary of the dedication of the Monument to the Martyrs in Fort Greene Park. There will be celebrations all day in the park, please see the notice below. The Monument to the Martyrs is the 146' doric column at the top of the grand staircase at the top of the park. The original monument, a very small clapboard house, stood just outside the Navy Yard at Evans and Hudson Streets in 1808; the monument that now stands was dedicated on that former monument's 100 year anniversary. The Martyrs are the estimated 11,500 patriots who died during the Revolutionary War on board the British Prison Ships moored here on Wallabout Bay, site of the Brooklyn Navy Yard since 1801. More than twice as many Americans died here "than in all the battles of the Revolutionary War," according to American Spirit Magazine. BNYDC has donated two bus tours of the Yard that day as part of the festivities, and all day long there will be special events, including genealogical workshops, horse and buggy rides, tours of the park, and a formal commemoration with a keynote address by Edwin G. Burrows, author of "Forgotten Patriots; The Untold Story of American Prisoners During the Revolutionary War." Finally, the eternal flame at the top of the column, which has been dark since the 1930s, will be re-lit after more than 70 years. The Navy Yard is the site of that most significant and unfortunate period of United States history, and the best way to recognize the sacrifice of all those who died on the Prison Ships is to gather in their memory and celebrate our freedom today! For more information visit: www.centennial2008.org/celebration.html This is a reminder that the November meeting is *NOT* Nov. 4, but rather *Nov. 11*th, due to the Presidential elections! Steve (WB2KHO) has finalized the date for the trip to the Battleship New Jersey. It is Nov. 9. Meet in Queens (TBD) at 8am. Please contact Steve if interested in going. ROSELAND AMATEUR RADIO CLUB (IRAC) ANNUAL AUCTION Sunday, September 7, 2008 The Roseland Amateur Radio Club will conduct an auction on Sunday, September 7, 2008 at the Roseland (Essex County) Municipal Building all-purpose room, 19 Harrison Ave. from noon to 2:00 PM. Doors open for sellers at 11:00. FREE ADMISSION Radio Amateurs and electronic aficionados are invited to bring radio gear and electronic equipment for auction. Sellers will pay 10% of the selling price if item sells. The Roseland ARC will also auction off radio equipment donated to the club and from the estates of club members who have passed away over the past several years. For further information, e-mail . Fellow hams and club members, please join me in congratulating the newest (literally) ham to our community. Earlier this morning the FCC issued the callsign of KC2TVM to Scott B. Haimes (although a spelling error has been corrected, they actually issued it to Scott B. Halmes). Scott spent the past few weeks preparing for the technician class exam in anticipation of a long road trip to Rochester and back next week. He's driving his girlfriend back to school and wanted a radio to use along the way. He thought a CB was the way to go but I enlightened him.
