A Message from the President
SMCC President’s Message
Hello, and happy end of summer! I hope everyone had a pleasant season and managed to stay cool during the extreme heat in mid and late August. As we transition into autumn, I’m hopeful we’ll enjoy some nice weather.
I’m excited to announce that we will be meeting for the first time at our new location: 
St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church & School
9035 Grant Ave
Brookfield, IL 60513
Thanks to the generosity of the church and our new host, Scott Gercken, KB9LCD, we have our new meeting place!  Scott is the Kantor (chief musical officer) and IT coordinator at the church.  We extend our gratitude to him for welcoming the Six Meter Club of Chicago.
Our first meeting at the new location will be on
September 13, 2024, at 7:30 pm.
Our speaker will be Alison Clemens from Clemens Enterprises of Westmont and Naples, FL.
She is a licensed Medicare supplement, Advantage plan, and stand-alone prescription drug insurance provider.  She will share valuable information with our members regarding coverage, what is and isn’t covered, and plans for the upcoming year.  We’ll be entering the open enrollment period (OEP), which runs from October 15 through November 7. 
This session will be particularly helpful for members with questions about their existing plans or considering signing up for a supplement or Advantage plan.
I’m looking forward to seeing our members and, hopefully, welcoming new people interested in joining the Six Meter Club of Chicago.
Remember, we host several nets, including the Grumpy Net on weekdays from 8:45 am to approximately 10:00 am.
We also have three nets on Tuesday evenings: the Six Meter CW Net at 7:00 pm, the Six Meter SSB Net at 8:00 pm, and the Information Net on the three SMCC Repeaters (UHF, VHF, and 222 MHz) at 9:00 pm.
