We Have 2 New Hams
Testing was last Saturday and we have 2 NEW Hams. William A Yates & Candace Gardner both passed their technician exams. That last name sounds familiar. Very proud of my XYL. Great job Candace, and congratulations to both of you.
LDARC 2025 Election
Our election committee has been busy calling all members to see who is interested in a board or officer position with our club. I am thrilled to say that a few new callsigns have stepped up and put there names in the hat. This is going to be a real election folks!
I would like to thank KN6UNL, KN6PUR & KE6JGM for reaching out to all of you. If you didn’t receive your call from our committee please let Marcos or Myself know and we will get that call out.
The slate will be presented at next Month’s club meeting. Candidates will have an opportunity to address those in attendance. Great thing are happening with our club. Thank you all for what you do, to make this club better and better all the time.
I would like to thank KO6ALP for doing a great job with his APRS workshop after testing last Saturday. Many of you turned up for the workshop. I think everyone left with a better understanding of APRS.
Great job Terry and thank you to everyone who came out for our workshop.
