If you picked up a membership form at last Sunday's Field Day this is
your reminder to fill it out and mail it back. If it now smells of
tamarind, because you spilled Aussie BBQ sauce on it, replacements are
available on the WICEN website.

Steven VK2BOS advises that, in addition to text based HF Digital
Modes, the Monday evening group will also experiment with the new
digital voice software called FreeDV. This is available from:
freedv.org
