Introduction
Bob Burleson, KG7QJ, is editor of the Arizona Desert AireWaves (ADAW) column for the Center for Amateur Radio Learning (CARL) , the club that maintains and runs the amateur radio exhibit at the Arizona Science Center in downtown Phoenix under the call sign of W7ASC.
You may contact Bob if you are interested in volunteering your time for a few hours of one day per week helping man the station's ham shack. His contact info is at the end of the news column below.

Yet another update on the W7ASC move. Surprise! The May 31, 2008 teardown date reported last month has been postponed, possibly to early July. I think I will have to fire my Astrologer as the date keeps on slipping (slipping, slipping into the future...).
We will have the W7ASC Shack open for the Field Day event June 28th - 29th. Inside operation, so we don't have to swelter in the summer heat. Speaking of summer, our "Summer Hours" (10:00AM - 3:00PM) start Memorial Day Monday May 26th and go through TO Labor Day, Monday September 1st. Of course this will depend on the Ham Shack tear-down, so we will likely be closed for at lest 6 TO 8 weeks in the summer (July-August).
Our Tech License class at MCC finished up with 15 students passing their Tech tests out of 19 signing up. Thanks again to Dave Morrill N7TWT and his VE team for running the test session. New Hams are:
Reid Bailey KE7TLT Cory McDowell KE7TNY Sally McDowell KE7TNZ Earl Melbourne KE7TOA Mike Layland KE7TOB Greg Griffith KE7TOC Dave Soletski KE7TOD William Neill KE7TOE Ken Smith KE7TOF Allen Blaine KE7TOG John Desenberg KE7TOH Bjorn Fjordholm KE7TOI Tom Mason KE7TOJ Walter Cheatham KE7TOK Jason Sanders KE7TOL
We plan to start up a General License Class at the Science Center July 26th, the weekend after the Williams Hamfest. Give me a call or e-mail if interested.
We are still looking for more W7ASC volunteers. Spread the word at your Ham Club. Call 480-961-1109 and volunteer now. A Volunteer sign-up page is available at www.w7asc.org
