April Club meeting to be held via Facebook Live
At the direction of the local health authorities, the April 8 club meeting will not be held in-person. However, the presentation by Ed Holloway, KØRPT, Nebraska Section Emergency Coordinator, will be live-streamed on Facebook Live. Ed will present on the 2020 storm watch procedures, so this will be of interest to anyone who wants to be involved with storm watch operations in Lancaster County, this year.
The live stream will begin on April 8 at 7:30 PM and can be found on the club Facebook page at fb.me/LARCLincoln or by searching for Lincoln Amateur Radio Club on Facebook.
We will continue to evaluate the situation before we make a decision about the May meeting. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at 402-613-4444 or wj0tx@arrl.net
