How to annoy a ham...

Meetings:

The next meeting will be February 1st at 7 PM via Zoom (online video). The guest speaker will be a surprise (unless you were at the meeting on January 4th). We had about a dozen people, although there were technical difficulties. Hopefully, next month will go more smoothly.

The virtual meeting will start on February 1st at 6:45PM to work through any issues and rag chew to fill in the dead air.. The guest speaker will be first on the agenda.

Club Website:

We have migrated the club website to a new low-cost hosting provider and at the same time, took the opportunity to upgrade security and availability.

The new URL is https://www.ke4ham.org.  If you notice any errors or have site-related questions, email: webmaster at ke4ham dot org.  

Many thanks to Frank Olbrish, KM4CXY, and his son, for hosting and administrating the club site until now.
