Happy August XWARN! Hope your summer is going well and you got many chances to operate your radios. Ending the summertime, next month is a large event for our area – the Air Force Marathon. I hope everyone can volunteer. Sign ups usu-ally close August 31st. If you have any questions, contact Bob N8ADO. Is there any interest in starting a club POTA group? This is something that I’ve been meaning to try myself and I thought I would gage eve-ryone’s interest.Try and stay cool. Remember, your radios can overheat, as well. Elizabeth Klinc, KE8FMJ AuxC

Happy July, XWARN! I hope everyone is surviving the intense heat. We had a delightful and suc-cessful Field Day despite melting just a little. Looking forward to learning the totals of all the great efforts. July begins with one of my favorite operating events – 13 Colonies! Are you participating in this operating event? There are many modes to chose from…or try one of each! Stay cool out there and I’ll see you all at our July meeting on Monday July 14th at 7pm.

Happy We survived Hamvention! But seriously, the t-shirt sale went amazing. We sold out…and very rapidly. Size medium was gone early on the first day! Everything else was sold out by the end of Saturday. Yes, you read that correctly…EVERYTHING. I am estimating at least 100 people wanted to buy a t-shirt after they were gone. It’s time to order more. Hamvention is all done and now it is time for Field Day!! It is coming up soon and we will be doing our normal place at BTFD Station 61. Our favorite people are set up and tear down helpers…especially…

Hello XWARN! 2025 seems to be flying by! The time has changed, and Spring is about to become upon us. We start off a busy event season with the Xenia Marathon. Hope to see lots of you working that on April 6th. Hamven-tion t-shirts are being prepared. Please don’t forget that this is our major source of funding. We need everyone to sign up for at least a 2-hour shift. Before we know it, Hamvention will be here! With Spring comes storms. Consider attending the National Weather Service Spotter Training online, coming up soon. We can never be too prepared…

Hello XWARN!It is still cold outside. I had a nice break with some heat from Orlando. I saw a new mobile Kenwood Radio that they are going to release. Might be worth checking out! Only a few short months until Hamvention. We will be selling t-shirts again. Please consider signing up for at least two shifts to sell as per our club rules. Hope to see you all at the meeting on Monday February 10th at 7pm!73,Elizabeth KE8FMJ AuxC
