President’s Message October 2024

Happy October XWARN!

Where did the year go? Feel like we were just starting it not that long ago. Now we are getting ready for yearly XWARN elections. Last chance to throw your name in the hat is coming up at the October 14th meeting. After that, nominations will be closed, and our election will be at the November meeting.
The leaves are falling; there is a chill in the air. The kids will soon be trick-or treating. You know what this means! Seasonal antenna maintenance is very important, especially as the weather turns cold. Are your antenna connections taped and well-sealed? The freezing / thawing / freezing cycle in the winter drives moisture into poorly sealed connections, causing high SWR and could cause premature failure of your feedline.

Enjoy your Halloween!
