President's Message:

You guys know the drill: meet this Third Thursday, June 20th, at
6pm.  Once again at the Bend Builder’s Assist hanger as our ‘new’
meeting location.  Many thanks to Mike Robertson allowing us to use his
space.  The street address is 63030 Powell Butte Hwy (on the south west
corner of the airport).  Bring something tasty top share at our 6:30pm
potluck.  Then we will finish up a short informal meeting a 7pm.

Wow, for the first time in months the weather looks good, maybe even
great, for our monthly Fly-out.  Sunny, clear, light winds and highs in
the 70’s.  And nice over much of the state, except the usual morning
junk in the valley.

New Seattle Center Sector:

In another sign of growth in Central Oregon, Seattle Center has
added a new sector for our area.  Our local center frequency use to be
128.15, it is now 126.15.  The same good service, just a new frequency
because the sector split in two.  This change is not in the AFD or on
the sectionals as of 20 Jun 19.  The signal is nice and loud, with only
local radio traffic.  Of course that means it is now being used even
more than before.

May Fly-Out:

Yet another washout for the May Fly-in.  Jake’s filled was a
reasonable alternative to flying.  Pretty much everyone left with
leftovers. With luck our Fly-out weather will be great until next
winter.
