QRP Dinner this Friday before the SBARC meeting
Guess what!
The QRP Special Interest Group (SIG) will be going to dinner together this Friday night before the October SBARC club meeting. Come and join us. We always have a very nice time, talk QRP, and down some of the best Italian food in Goleta.
We go to Presto Pasta, which is at 5764 Calle Real. We start showing up there at 5:30 PM. We hams wait until all have arrived before starting to eat, just like one pig waits for another!
After dinner, we will drive over to Fairview Ave., turn right and go less than 0.25 mile to the Goleta Union School District facility, which is right across the street from the Goleta Library. That is where we hold our monthly club meetings.
Our guest speaker for the evening will be Dr. Michael Barber, W6MRB, our very own Membership Chairman. Did you know that Michael is the CEO of the Santa Barbara Instrument Group which specializes in Astrophysical Photographic equipment that is famous the world over? SBIG is the manufacturer of a variety of CCD Cameras that have become the instruments of choice for most astro imagers. Michael will discuss CCD imaging for beginners and intermediate users, show some incredible outer-space photos and answer your many questions about CCD imaging. Michael's Power Point presentation promises to take your breath away!

You will not want to miss this! Bring a guest with you.
Don't forget to bring your quality junque to deposit on the "free-to-good-home" table as well as take home your share of what others have deposited thereon.
Consider renewing your dues for next year. This will be the last meeting of this year, except for November, and would be a good time to get ready for 2009. You can bring your membership application along if you haven't already sent it in. You can download it from our SBARC website.
Be sure to get your share of raffle tickets for the drawing and, if you get a chance, please bring along some refreshments to put alongside the coffee pot.
See you Friday.
Darryl Widman, KF6DI
