Frederick R. "Bob" Hawk, KØYEH, SK
It is with deep regret that we must report to you that Iowa City Amateur Radio Club member Frederick R.

73 and Rest in Peace, old friend.

We have added a page of Weather Spotter Safety information (provided by the National Weather Service) to remind you of proper safety procedures when you are engaged in spotting severe weather for the Johnson County Severe Weather Net. Please read this information before you become active in Weather Spotting, and review it every month or two during the severe weather season!

The next regular meeting of the Iowa City Amateur Radio Club will be held on Wednesday, July 8th, and is our annual "mini-swap meet" or as many euphemistically call it "Junk-in-the-Trunk"! This swap meet is held in the rear parking lot of Tru Art Color Graphics (Economy Advertising), at 2800 Hwy 6 E, in Iowa City. Note that while the Tru Art address is Highway 6 East, the actual entrance to the parking lot is on Heinz Road, which is a left turn off Highway 6 if you are eastbound.
Trading will begin when the first two hams arrive!
Note: Before the meeting, we usually have an informal get-together for dinner at the Arby's Restaurant in Coralville, but for this meeting only the get-together will be at the Burger King at 1445 Boyrum Street in Iowa City. Please feel free to join us there between 6:00 and 6:15 PM.
We hope to see you at the swap meet on July 8th!
