From the Desk of AB9ZI - March 2025 Message

The President’s Desk

Amateur Radio has an “image” of some folks hiding behind their microphones never seeing anyone in person.  Well, YOUR club goes a long way to dispute that image! 

On Tuesday, February 25 we held our annual club dinner at Portillo’s in Deerfield.   At last count we had 42 attendees!  It was great to see every one and we all had a lot of loud fun.  

And, on Saturday mornings at our ongoing breakfast at Max’s Deli s in Highland Park we set a record last week with 25 of us enjoying in-person conversations.  Join us at 8 am.  Max’s Location:   Crossroads Shopping Center 191 Skokie Valley Rd, Highland Park, IL 60035.
