As we move into September, cooler fall operating weather is just around the corner, and our club calendar remains packed with great activities and upcoming events.
First, I want to extend our thanks to Kevin (AD0IM) and all the other CW Elmers for our recent CW night. Thank you as well to everyone who participated and learned that Morse code skill is not a mystery—no secret decoder ring required! Seeing that kind of turnout and enthusiasm for continuous learning is what keeps our club thriving.
Looking ahead to next month, please mark your calendars for the annual Ensor Auction on Saturday, October 17th. Now is the time to start sorting through your shacks, workshops, and storage shelves. Please gather any surplus radios, test gear, antennas, and accessories you would like to donate or consign. The auction is always a highlight of the fall season, and the variety of gear our members bring makes all the difference in its success.
Additionally, we are looking for volunteers to assist on weekends at the Ensor site this October. Please keep an eye out for the Sign-Up-Genius link to sign up for a slot.
Thank you for your ongoing support, participation, and dedication to the club.
73,
Bill KA2FNK, President
