The next meeting of the West Valley Amateur Radio Association will be
on Wednesday, June 21 at 7:30 PM at the Campbell Community Center, at
Winchester Blvd and Campbell Ave in Campbell, California.  We will be
meeting in the "Mary Campbell Room," or Room Q-84, which is the meeting
room closest to the former-tennis-courts-turned-skateboard-park.

Visitors are always welcome.  We hope visitors will consider joining after
meeting some of the group.

There will be two topics covered at this meeting.  First will be a
presentation on technical aspects of High Definition Television (HDTV).

Then we'll talk about this weekend's Amateur Radio Field Day, a nationwide
event in which WVARA will participate.  Field Day is a combination of
emergency drill, operating contest, educational event and really big social.
WVARA's Field Day site, located at the ridgetop residence of Charlie Norman
AB6VS at the 3000 foot elevation near the peak of Loma Prieta, will have more
than thirteen radio stations set up from scratch running mostly in tents (or
a few RVs) from generator power.  Last year WVARA's site was one of the
top ten largest Field Day sites in North America.  We anticipate similar
placement this year.  WVARA's Field Day info can be found at
