Hello Everyone!

I want to thank each of you for your continued participation, support, and willingness to help keep our club active and welcoming. Our regular activity nights, nets, meetings, outdoor operating events, Emcomm, and testing sessions all help strengthen our skills and our friendships in amateur radio.

Several great opportunities are coming up, including our Annual Picnic, a Parks on the Air (POTA) activity at Lake Maria State Park, and our next license testing session. Whether you are a long-time operator, newly licensed, studying for your first license, or just interested in learning more, I encourage you to join us, get on the air, and enjoy the fellowship of the club.

Thank you for all you do to support amateur radio in our area!  I look forward to seeing you at the clubhouse and at our upcoming events.

73,
Jeff Dickerson, N0JFY
Vice President, St. Cloud Amateur Radio Club
