[IRCNews] Please support our new Ivy Tech student hams!

[David Spoelstra]

First off, an introduction. Here are our newly licensed hams in the Ivy
Tech ham shack. We've already had several of them on the air and one made a
10m SSB contact.

They are from left to right:
KD9MVK Quinton Ritter
KD9MVN Augustine Busch
KD9MVJ Jahrael Shabzultvorn
KD9MVM Karla Jimenez-Vasquez
KD9MVL Austin Owens
and we have two more that are taking the exam this or next month.

In the last survey I sent out, everyone wanted to support and get new hams
into the hobby. Jim K9RU and I have been spending countless hours doing
just that.

Now it's your chance to help with that goal. As you know, band conditions
are horrible and Techs only have SSB on 10m. So I want to get them on 2m,
220, & 440 as soon as possible.

To accomplish that goal, I would like to purchase an HT for each student.
Here's where you come in. *I need donations!*

I want to purchase UV-5X3 tri-banders. They are $60 each. We will have
seven licensed students in the next few months so I'll need $420. If I
can't reach that goal, I'll drop back to UV-5Rs.

All money will go toward purchasing HTs for the students. If I get more
than I need, I'll use it for the next crop of students in the Fall 2019
semester. Remember, this is our student club we support and the reason we
get to meet at Ivy Tech.

Please give anything you can. Please make checks out to "David Spoelstra".

I won't be at the meeting this Friday, but you can give the money/checks to
Jim K9RU. If you want to mail donations to me, my address is:
David Spoelstra
3630 E 71st ST
Indianapolis, IN  46220

Thanks!
