July President’s Message
Hello XWARN!We had another great Field Day! Lots of our members showed up to support and I am grateful for that. We had a great number of guests who came out to see what it was all about or to try out operation. The GOTA station was full all through the afternoon! The picnic was wonderful camaraderie and we had a large number of youth to experience the event.I also hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth of July holiday. Cookouts, fire-works…it is one of my favorite times of year.See you all on Monday July 10th for our monthly meeting.73,Elizabeth KE8FMJ

You’ll often hear Janese, KD8DGB, come on as net con-trol for the weather net. And we much appreciate her and all her efforts! But weather emergencies don’t always happens in the evenings and nights or weekends. Sometimes they happen right smack dab in the middle of the day and work week.
