President's Message September 2010

Here it is September already. Where has the summer gone? With the onset of autumn comes the beginning of the of antenna season. Yes this is the time we all try to get our last projects completed.

I encourage all members to ask for help and never under estimate the danger of working on antenna projects alone. I myself lost a very close friend that decided to work on a tower alone a few years ago about this time of year.

Please contact any officer of WACOM or another member and ask for some help with these projects. Remember we are a club and that's what we do best is help one another and safety is always first.

Photos Wanted

Come on members. It's time to include a photo of your home station, together with a brief description of your station and equipment, in the WACOM Newsletter. So far, we have only 4 members whose stations have been shown and we need all of you to be there. We would also like to get them on our web site. Just take a photo of your station (hopefully with you included, but not necessary) with your digital camera, then prepare a few words about your station, and send them both to n3zel@arrl.net.

It's easy and it's fun so no more excuses, send your photo and station info today.
