<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Fellow members of NCDXA:<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Once again this year Frank Donovan, W3LPL has generously agreed to host our June NCDXA meeting during his Open House. This year it takes place on Saturday, June 17. Folks begin arriving at noon and the last stragglers are usually leaving around 4 PM. Because PVRC and W3AO FD Planning meetings are also taking place at the event, the exact time for our formal meeting will be coordinated with those groups, so the exact time for our meeting will be announced as we are already there.<br><br> Sadly, only a few
days after last year's event, a tornado blew through Frank's
neighborhood and downed one of his towers as well as destroying the
grove of trees that we had become accustomed to sitting under in recent
years. However, the trees alongside Frank's driveway were undamaged so
it is suggested that we find our shelter from the sun there instead.<br><br><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">This
is a family affair so spouses, significant others and kids are
welcome. Please remember to bring along a folding chair for each person
attending. A cap or hat is also advised. Refreshments and snacks are
provided, and a local restaurant will have its portable facilities on
hand so that a barbecue type lunch can be purchased. Please park within
the area bounded by the tape. <br><br>The event is located at 3055 Hobbs Rd, Glenwood, MD. It is just a couple of miles south<br>of the intersection of I-70 with Maryland Route 97. From the west come through Frederick<br>east on I-70, from the north and east from Baltimore west on I-70, from DC the fastest<br>route is via I-95 north to Maryland 32, though for some Maryland 97 north may be more<br>direct. Use your GPS device or Google Maps when you get close. When you see what looks<br>like an AM broadcaster's antenna array you are there.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Looking forward to seeing you there.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">73, Fred Laun, K3ZO<br></div>President, NCDXA <br></div></div>
