At the meeting Tuesday night, we discussed kit building. The event committee is going to schedule a day in the near future that we can get together and have fun building. Below are links to the pages we discussed.... I'm sure there are many more. If you want to participate, you purchase the kit and bring it with you.

Hey... I was about to forget that we're supposed to have a net on Thursday nights now!! The majority of the weather should be thru the area by 7pm, so I'll run net control since I didn't get any volunteers. If you can make it, please do! Stay safe.

Heads-up: The sunny skies are nice but deceptive today. That extra sunshine is warming our area ahead of the weather rolling in and potentially increasing instability. Supercell development is increasing in likelihood along with hail, wind, and tornadoes. We will probably see a Tornado Watch issued soon.

Thanks for the input. When I'm ready to sink those rods, I'll be glad to borrow that bit, Eric. Bill has an SDS I can borrow. So, I should be all good except for sourcing the rods. I'll probably check Hirsch tonight and see what they have in stock.

Thanks all.?

Any volunteers to run the ARES net control this Thursday night at 7pm? Bill was scheduled for next week, so we’ll leave that in place. Also need a volunteer for the simplex net next Tuesday at 7pm??

I think was about 35.00, hirsch has less expensive but are aluminum?

If you have access to a large SDS Hammer drill and a bit like the one at the link below, ground rods are a whole lot easier!! I have a bit you can borrow but no longer have access to a big hammer drill.

Cool

I'm needing aquire and drive in some ground rods. Two questions for the group:

- Where's the best place to purchase ground rods for a decent price?

- Any suggestions on best ways to sink ground rods in Ozark "soil"??

Thanks for any suggestions,?
