Ham Radio Santa is On the Air at OF9X

President’s Report

It is that time of year again. Time to be around friends and family. Hopefully this year is more normal than the last. With that being said, It’s Christmas Party Time! I hope to see everyone at the restaurant. We have decided to change the scenery a bit this year. We will be meeting at the Pizza Ranch in Morton. As a reminder, the start time is at 6:30 PM on Thursday December 9th. Please RSVP to the club email W9UVI@arrl.net by December 6th.

POTA update: We had our first activation of Jubliee State Park. Thank you to those who came out to play on that cold and windy day. We had over 110 contacts, 90 of them being voice! Hopefully we, as a group, can get together again in the Spring for another run at it.

I want to wish everyone a happy and festive holiday season. It has been a rough year for everyone. I look forward to working with you and the new Board members next year!
