Isaiah 40:31 – Our Strength Is Renewed In Christ

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (NIV)

President's Report

Hello All,

Another leap year day in the books and another test session coming up... March 16th at the LEMA building. Testing begins at 10am, so if you want to upgrade or know someone who wants to test then come on down and see the team on that Saturday morning.

This Saturday we'll be meeting at the Queen City Truck stop for some food and fellowship. This month's meeting we hope to discuss an upcoming event that we've been invited to. We have a spot planned out with power and we can have an antenna or two up to make a few contacts. If we get a lot of interest we may even send out a few QSL cards.

Spring is coming up quickly and maybe it's time to do another building contest. We'll discuss that as well, also we need to discuss the POTA event that we were going to at last month's meeting. With all that said, let's hope for a good turnout this Saturday. See you there.


73"s  Charles, KB5SZJ

Quote of the Month

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.
