NEWS From the Shack The W7ASC shack modifications and changes are in the approval progress and expected to be finalized next week (7/26). Go to http://w7asc.org/tour.html for photos of where the Shack is at currently. We also have made several advances to the equipment and operation in the Shack thanks to Steve, WB4ZSC, and Stuart, AE7SS. Unfortunately I will have to fill in on the details of this next time as I left my notes in my pocket on a memory stick....which went into the wash. Thumb drives are not waterproof!!! Meanwhile the construction and modifications at the Science Center continue. See the ASC web page at http://www.azscience.org/construction_updates.php The 2010 General License class is underway. We had to draw maps for the General Class students so they could find their way from the NW 5th street entrance (2nd floor), to the 3rd floor and then all the way East and down to the 1st floor and then East some more to the basement. We have 10 students signed up and all were able to find the class room! We have one possible "Grandfathered" General that held a pre-1987 Tech license. QCWA members are researching as we speak. The next Tech License class will begin Saturday October 16th at Mesa Community College. Lots of changes to the new Tech 2010 question pool. The W7ASC Shack on "Summer Hours" for August through to Labor Day when we go back to 2 shifts per day. We can always use new W7ASC volunteers. Spread the word at your Ham Club. Call 480-961-1109 and volunteer now. We have a NEW CARL PowerPoint Presentation available (operators are standing by) that can be presented to your club. --73 Bob Burleson ARIZONA SECTION NEWS by Tom Fagan, K7DF (Reproduced with permission) The Arizona Section News is being distributed in Newsletter form.
