Dear Amateur Radio Operator,
It’s time again for the Radio Association of Erie to ask you to support the premier amateur radio club of Northwestern Pennsylvania. For 2009, we have decided to continue to keep our dues at a special low price for you. For 2009, full membership is only $15.00.
During 2008, the Radio Association of Erie has been very active in furthering and promoting Amateur Radio. The Radio Association of Erie has:
• Assisted in providing emergency communications at various community events;
• Held various activities at our clubhouse on Wagner Road in McKean such as Monthly Club Meetings, a summer picnic, Field Day, PA QSO Party, and other activities;
• Completed the installation of a new controller on the 146.610 repeater;
•Upgraded all of the computers and monitors at the clubhouse;
•And the list goes on and on!
If you have been a member and have read the QUARAE newsletter or visited our website at www.w3gv.org, you will have knowledge of our numerous activities. If not, we ask you to join and share in our enjoyment and participation in Ham Radio and visit one of our meetings. If already a member, please rejoin!
By helping the RAE, you will also help non-hams know about the hobby and assist in preserving the amateur radio hobby for many years to come. Please don’t delay, please complete the enclosed RAE Membership Form and mail it to me with your check with whatever level of membership you wish.
If you have any questions, please call me at 449-2309 or e-mail me at kd3dfrank@hotmail.com or contact any club officer. We need you now!

Frank Graziano, KD3D
