News last updated: Sun, August 10, 2008 at 6:45 PM ET
Here is the section news for South Dakota, if there are any clubs that have material that they wish to have posted please email me kg0gg@arrl.net the information no later than the 5th of the month so that I can get it posted to both the summary and the web site before the cut off date.
Hot Springs ARC News
Our Field Day report has been sent in to the ARRL. Our score was below 2007's but it still was a big success with our new tower and enclosed trailer. We will be ready for 2009!
We began work on the inside of our club shack. Phil, KAØFUI, has installed new wiring, outlets and trim. After some caulking, we will be ready to paint and mount the new counter tops. We hope to have this completed by the end of August.
Our annual club picnic will be in September. We will announce a date next month. Gary Slagel, NØSXX, has moved back to Hot Springs after being in Colorado for many years.

South Dakota Section Convention
South Dakota Section & Sioux Empire ARC
It is official everyone - September 20th, 2008 is the date - mark the
calendar.
We have the venue and banquet lined up - and we will have more flea
market space (double of last year) as well as double the banquet
seating.
I would like everyone to email me and let me know what seminars you
would like to see or if you would like to put one on that is even
better.
We are working on vendors and other surprises so keep tuned in and
reading.
Thanks,

South Dakota Amateur Radio Council (SDLINK)
The Turkey Ridge repeater on the SD link suffered a lightening hit and
caused some problems. These have been fixed and work has been done on
additional grounding.
Work is planned at Wessington Springs to change out the VHF antenna
which hopefully will be completed by mid-August is the weather
cooperates. A new UHF link radio is slated to be installed at the
Pierre SD Link site in early September.
A SD Link flea market fund raising table is planned for the September
290th Sioux Falls SD Hamfest. If you have items you are willing to
donate please bring them to the event. The proceeds will go to the SD Link.
We are in need of net controls for the SD Link net on Wednesday night at
9 pm central or 8 pm Mountain. Please contact WB0RJH is you could do be
a net control for a month.

The July meeting of the Northern Hills Amateur Radio Club was called to order by President Gene McPherson, NØMHJ at 1930 on July 25, 2008 with 11 members present at the Lead City Hall.
Public Service events were discussed by President Gene with no changes.
The status of the State Link net was discussed. The State Link Net is still in need of Net Control Stations.
Net Control Stations for the evening Weather Net are still needed along with relief Controllers for the present ones.
Arrangements still need to be made to take the tour of the Lawrence County EOC that Paul Thomson offered to do.
Next month we will need to ask for nominations for officer's positions and the elections will be held in September. If you plan to nominate someone please check with that person before hand to see if they will be willing and able to except the nomination.

Meeting was adjourned at 20:10.
