Next HCRA Meeting–Indoor Tailgate Party
In lieu of a tailgate party in the parking lot, we are going to have a small-scale flea market at our October 4th meeting at the Auxiliary Conference Center at the Holyoke Medical Center. As long as space permits, we will allot up to 12 square feet of table space to each club member that wants to put out a few things for sale — a rig, a reel of wire, books – anything that fits, is ham radio related, and is not totally junk, but NO computers, NO monitors, NO printers, NO TVs! Table space is free–we are asking a least a 10% commission on sales for the club’s treasury. To reserve a space email me at n1fj@arrl.net .
Nutmeg Hamfest
The correct date and time for the Nutmeg Hamfest in Meriden, CT is Sunday, October 13th, 2013 8AM – 2PM. In September and October Zero Beat it was incorrectly shown as October 7.

I need articles and photos for Zero Beat!
Anyone for dropping me an email with photos or articles of interest to HCRA members? If you are tired of seeing SOTA articles you should submit something to me for upcoming issues of Zero Beat — I would like material by early next week. (Sorry, that doesn’t mean there won’t be any more SOTA items!) An article doesn’t have to be fancy — I will take care of formatting, font selection and so on. Send text or .doc to n1fj@arrl.net

Antenna Zoning for the Radio Amateur
Is there a tower and antenna in your future? Applying for a Permit? On November 19 the Franklin County Amateur Radio Club (FCARC) speaker will be Fred Hopengarten, K1VR, telecommunications lawyer. Fred is author of the definitive book,Antenna Zoning for the Radio Amateur. Fred has represented many amateurs in conflicts with local zoning authorities about antennas and towers, including in Franklin County.
