The PAPA San Diego Luncheon
at Cocina Del Charro on Saturday April 20, 2024
The San Marcos Luncheon continues to grow in attendance, and we had eight who attended for the first time! With 35 in attendance, Saturday was one of the largest groups at the luncheon. Our ham license test session was successful. Mark passed his Technician test, and Marshall upgraded to General and then took and passed his Amateur Extra… very well done!
Big Bear Hamcation
While we did not have a formal presentation, Cecil did share about the upcoming Big Bear Mini Hamcation on April 26-28. PAPA will be there, so come on out and say “Hi”. If you are planning on attending and would like company on the ride, talk it up on the system as there are folks who would certainly appreciate a ride and good company. If attendance is sufficient, the Big Bear Mini Hamcation could become the major amateur radio convention in the future. Wouldn’t you like to be able to say, “…and I was there for the beginning.”
Smooth Operator
Cecil also shared with the group the importance of being polite and having good etiquette on the air. Plain English is preferred when using the PAPA System. Our Smooth Operator guide has more helpful hints. We will also be highlighting some of these hints on our nets and emails. Technology moves quickly, and to keep up we will be revising the Smooth Operator guide to reflect the current “State of the PAPA Art”.
Join us on May 18th for our next San Diego Luncheon!
