Other club news and announcements:
- Live, in-person UARC meetings have resumed! Live, in-person UARC meetings are happening again at our previous venue - the University of Utah in the Warnock Engineering Building. We continue to monitor the "health situation" and understand that not all members may be comfortable meeting in person just yet, so we've also been live "broadcasting" the meeting via the club's YouTube channel as before. Please join us at the in-person meeting if you can.
- Microvolt Editor sought: With the passing of Gordon, K7HFV, we lost the editor of the Microvolt, the club's newsletter: Gordon left big shoes to fill in this regard - and we have only recently been able to "find" these shoes - meaning that there are a lot of "moving pieces" to the production of the Microvolt that happened behind the scenes, and we have had to find and figure out what all of these parts are and how to do them.
The "June" and "July" issues have been mailed and the "September" issue will be out soon as well, to be followed thereafter by the October issue, putting us back on track.
Meanwhile: If you can write pretty well and have at least some familiarity with putting together articles electronically and be willing to entertain being the Microvolt editor, please contact any club officer.
Gordon Smith, K7HFV (SK):
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and "Elmer" Gordon Smith, K7HFV on April 21, 2022. Gordon was not only the friendly voice on the radio, but the "Elmer's Elmer", helping new hams into the hobby, offering sage advice, and pointing the way for many new hams to become Elmers themselves.
You can find a short bio about Gordon and information about the memorial service here.
He will be greatly missed!
