For the last seven weeks we have been collecting and publishing names of those who checked into the net. I thought it would be a good time to summarize our stats to date. Dan and I both encourage you to join the net each Thursday, and if you get the urge, consider hosting once in a while to give Dan a break. Give him a call. He would appreciate it.

The following pictures were taken at the October picnic at Lake Parker Park. Thirty one attended. Picnics are always a great time to socialize, and eat. This one was also good for radio. Andrew in particular got the chance to cut his teeth on HF, making several DX contacts on 10-meters.

On the same day as the picnic, the Lakeland Police Department held its annual open house. As in years past, LARC made sure its presence in the community was recognized. The first of two photos is of the LARC booth. The second is of the CERTS booth, notable because it was manned by one of our most charming members, Roger.

There is no limit to the extent we will go to raise interest in the hobby. Jim is having so much fun he has even decided to run for the board. That kind of enthusiasm really rocks!
