Hello fellow Hams, Over the last 3 months, my staff and I have interfaced with several clubs It’s a pleasure to be able to tell you how much I appreciate all the good work your clubs are doing. The rewards to be a part of a great club, is to be a member, and any recognition is just icing on the cake, not to be expected but to be enjoyed. I know you all can put in long hours and wonder if anyone really notices, I want to reassure you people notice and appreciate what you do, as a club and as individuals. Its all about people, people make clubs, people make QSO’s, people make the ARRL. Our technology is a tool to make friends, in your communities, on the air and at different clubs. It is also there when every thing else fails, to support in emergency’s and in public events With the introduction of the HELLO Campaign and the 100th anniversary of wireless, this year is going to be something special to all of us. We have to encourage new hams, develop and support mentoring programs and participate in on air activities.. I really believe that the clubs of Western Mass, are an important part of our current and future success. The initiatives that come out of all club meetings will prove incredibly important to the relationships of ham radio operators in your club and in other clubs through out the section. I ask you to think outside the box, to come up with ideas that will lead to providing better support to all ham radio operators, new and old, and to share your thoughts and visions with other clubs in Western Mass 73, Ed,W1KT WMA SM
