    • BAKE SALE!!! April 4th, 2000

    The UB RAMS are holding a bake sale fundraiser in O'Brian outside the Law Library on Tuesday, April 4th. We are raising money for a more powerful antenna tuner to handle increased power. This increased power coupled with a better antenna (made possible by the purchase of this new tuner) will allow us for further reaching contacts. Please come and buy some cookies, Rice Krispie Treats, brownies, or other treats. We all have a sweet tooth.


    Teaching session

    RAMS will be holding a class on the weekend of the 9th. We don't know the time yet, but it is expected to be held in the RAMS office. We will cover Element 2 and Element 3A, which is for the Tech No Code license (no Morse Code element for this license class). Learn now! April 15th starts new license structuring and new exams, we don't know the questions or style. This session will be free, will have adequate breaks, and may have food. Email Noah to sign-up. The exam is being held on Tuesday April 12th in the evening at 7PM in Lancaster, NY. It is FREE to first-timers and we will PROVIDE FREE transportation. This is something that is easy and fun to do. GET A "ticket" (license) and join the AR community for life!



    OPERATION: VDAY2

    February 21st-23rd, 2000 we are executing OPERATION: VDAY2. We will be sending radio telegrams (radiograms) to friends and loved ones all over the country for FREE. This is a chance for people to learn a little about amateur radio, traffic handling, and of course send a second valentine to someone special be it a friend, lover, or family member. It will sent through traffic nets until it arrives at its final destination via telephone call.

    OPERATION: VDAY2 was a great success. We sent 15 messages to people, got people on the air, and had a lot of fun

    Aside from the fact that being an SA club means we have to give back to the community, amateur radio operators have been known to help the community since they got started.

    We have had girl scouts come again recently here in 2000 earning their radio badge, getting on the air, and just having a good 'ol time with amateur radio.

    On 2/21/99 The Girl Scouts will be coming to our club to learn about amateur radio communication. We plan to have them transmit to both the Western New York region and the world.


    Troop 840 has come and gone. It was a lot of fun and a huge success. The girls were polite, excited, and some were fearless. The fearless ones led the others into trying out HF and UHF/VHF. We'll have to consider them again in the future. We need another activity, any suggestions?

    So what is next? We could do more with the girlscouts, but there is much more available. We could do stuff with the homeless, elderly, help out with the school, or more. We take suggestions.
