North Texas Section February 2020 Newsletter Feb 13, 2020 Events This Month and Early March I will be traveling to the Wichita ARC meeting (February 20th) and the West Fork ARC meeting in Bridgeport the following Saturday (February 27th) New!!! February 29th Hella Hams Sidewalk Sale at the Hella Shrine in Garland Texas. More info on this event below. March 7th is the Irving Ham Fest this is one of the best Flea Market style events in North Texas March 13/14th is the Belton Ham Fest always a big turn out and lots of used gear for sale. ARRL Awards: We should have many of our fellow North Texas ARRL members getting nominated for awards that are provided by the League each and every year, details may be found on the ARRL website with a simple search string "Nominations Solicited for 6 ARRL Awards." It would be great if club's in our section would each form a nomination committee to get select amateurs from their club or community nominated for these awards. I know folks this kind of stuff takes time, but if we don't nominate someone, none of us will get recognition that we all deserve. Pay it forward, one day you may get an award. As of today, I have forwarded two nominations for awards to our Division Director. Mentor Fest Mentor Fest this year will be held on the third Saturday of April, April 18th. This is an all-day event that you should plan on attending. If you’re a Mentor and you do presentations, I really would like to have a conversation with you Now!!! Telephone 318-470-9806 Email KG5VK@.... You may also signup at ARRLNTX.org New... Hella Ham's Flea Market/Sidewalk Sale Starting February 29, 2020 at the Hella Shrine in Garland. This will be an ongoing event each month of the year that has a 5th Saturday. Just like February 2020 has a 5th Saturday on the 29th. Shriner Clowns that are Ham Radio Ops, hosting a sidewalk sale - what could be more fun!!! 73, Steve, KG5VK ARRL NTX Section Manager
