I'm extremely happy with our club. Even when I can't join the events, it gives me relief to know that there are people there, meeting, talking, keeping this hobby alive. People in this club ARE active. They volunteer, they join events, they meet on the air. I love to be a small part of this group, however quiet I usually am (I'm more into digitals then voice right now). Don't change a thing! I thank you, ALL of you who volunteers, who work on comities, who are members of the board, our president and wise president, and every single one of you who is part of this community. I'll try to continue to support our club as much as I can, as long as I can. Thank you everyone for a great HAM club!
