• Saturday, March 27, 2010 - "Class Followup/Technician Refresher Course" - optional final "hands-on" day for the just concluded Technician course(s). This will include some review of crucial areas, as well as getting new operators on the air, assigning "Elmers" to help them along, and helping select radio equipment suitable if it's time to purchase that first radio.  While this is mainly geared towards finalizing the class from the previous weekend, any licensed amateur is welcome to come if they feel it would be helpful, especially for those wishing to "re-learn" or better understand the information from their Technician licensing class.  Lots of Hands-On, and class is informal and tailored to attending students to cover areas and issues of their own choosing.
  
• Fri-Sun, April 23,24,25, 2010 - Fund Raising Food Booth at the Astoria-Warrenton Crab Festival.  Contact Nancy Lee (KD7IBA's XYL) or a board member to get on the list to help.

• Starting May 8th, there will be a Fox Hunt (Hidden transmitter location) activity on the 2nd Saturday of each month, starting at 12 noon.  Locations will vary.
  
• Sat/Sun May 15, 2010 - "Mouth of the Columbia" Day - our own little "mini-field day" held in memory of N7LWQ.  24 hours of DX's from the Jetty Platform parking lot in Fort Stevens.  Combining camping out, BBQ'ing, and Ham radio into a fun day.
  
• June brings Sea-Pac (Largest ham conference west of the Mississippi) for which we need talk-in personnel, and our SEARC/STARS combined Spaghetti feed (all hands drill!) both the first weekend, as well as Field Day the last weekend.
