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 up. We all know how important this event is to our club and the ham radio community, so again, thank you!
This is a reminder that if you have not filled out a new application form to please do so. We are updating everyone’s information as we have had a lot of members move and also upgrade licenses and call signs. Email the membership email or bring a printed copy filled out to club meetings.
It’s officially April which mean spring and storms are starting to fire up in our area. Maple Grove is officially on call for the season for skywarn. If you would like to participate, please reach out to me and we will get you on the list. I highly recommend if you want to get all your training done in one day to sign up for the Skywarn and Net Control Training April 12th at Ridgedale Library on metroskywarn.org through Eventbrite. Skywarn training needs to be renewed every 2 years. This year the training for skywarn will be from 12-1500. If you are current on skywarn training and just want to come for the net control part, that will be from 1500-1700 in the same room. Please arrive at 14:45 if you are just coming for net control training in case the skywarn class gets done early.
As things warm up also want to keep in mind that the MS events are coming up and we need more volunteers. The events ran last year but the could have used more ham operators. If you are new and want to get involved these are good events. You will not get put on your own and they are a great learning experience. All the MS events have been posted to our website. The first one being May 3rd.
