President's Message - February 2010 PDF Print E-mail
Written by Harvey, KB2EA   

I hope everyone is well and staying warm these days. I am sitting here writing this letter and watching the snow fall. We have about three inches on the ground. As I am looking out my window I can see my ground mounted vertical buried in a snow drift about two feet deep. Oh well no hf today until I dig out the base of the antenna along with our automobiles and steps out in front.

Fall is finally here, the weather is much cooler, the leaves are falling all around us and daytime is getting shorter.  What a better way to spend those cold long nights than firing up your HF rig and having some fun.  There are plenty of contests going on almost every weekend so if you're not into long QSO's then this is the perfect opportunity to make a quick contact.  You never know if there will be a great band opening.
