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.

For the past 2 ½ years, I have been volunteering to work with a teacher at Central School for the afterschool activity of Ham Radio for the 5-8th graders. It’s been a great experience working with the kids who are so bright and catch on to everything we do so quickly. Several students have obtained their HAM licenses (two Extra Class!) along with some of their family members.

I want to take this opportunity to wish all of you Holiday Cheer and Happy New Year!
As your new president I am honored to be in this position and work with our new board of directors as we move into 2025.
In the past I served as VP and as an at large board member. I have seen what an amazing and worthwhile club this is and I will need your help to take it to the next level.

With the Holiday season upon us, thoughts go to gift giving and receiving. Each year our club is very lucky to receive donations from members like you that help support the ongoing activities that make our club fiscally strong and able to offer services that other clubs simply cannot.
