Spring is here! With that comes many outdoor ham radio events and activities. One of which is participating as a Metro Skywarn Spotter. If you want to see what it’s like to run a net or get involved we are looking for more supervisors of the day. Please reach out at the next club meeting…
I want to start off with a big thank you to everyone who made Midwinter Madness a success this year! It ran very smoothly and everyone did a fantastic job. Thanks to the committee for setting everything up, all the hard work did not go unnoticed, and thanks to all of the volunteers who showed…
It’s March! What a warm way to end to February. Felt like spring! No snow and warm weather. As far as I know the Beargrease sled dog marathon is still on March 2nd. We will need volunteers for that. If you are volunteering you can let me know if you have any info for the…

Happy February! These unseasonably warm winter months look a lot different than this time last year.

Winter Field Day was 37 degrees and the only snow in sight was a 3” high…
