** This a QST

The next meeting of the DMA Amateur Radio SIG is Tuesday March 7th at 5 till
9:30 PM at 119 Valley

I want to thank Lynden, N8RXL, for hosting our sig at Sinclair's Soldering
Lab.

Last month several of the Softrock 5 kits were completed.  Mark has offered
to bring his laptop and kit and put on a demo.

Please read the email attached below regarding the Channel 16 Auction.
Please support it since they are willing to host the HDTV meeting

I made an announcement a few months ago that Channel 16 is willing to host
our SIG at their location and explain what HDTV is and how they put it
together.  There will also be a tour of the 'Tape Room' and Master Control
where it all happens. Parking will be at your expense. The Dayton Convention
parking garage is above Channel 16.

And as always if you have any ideas for future meetings pass them along.

For more info send an email to k8dma at dma.org or call George Ewing, WD8NHI at
937-667-3259

All DMA SIG meetings are free and everyone is welcome to attend.

I am seeking Volunteers to be a Bid Taker at this weeks Channel 16 Auction.

A little bit of background.  Company's pay big money to sponsor various
areas of the Auction, such as Pick-up & Pay, the Big Board, the Bid Takers
just to name a few.  They also provide as many of the 35 people needed for
the phones as they can.  As in past years DMA Members will assist in filling
the vacate seats.

As of now - this is the schedule of openings:

right)
