President’s Message
Fourteen years ago in September I joined the Valley Radio Club. I originally joined to learn more about ham radio, but I’ve stayed because of the people. I was astonished with how so many in the club eagerly shared with me what they knew and encourage me to learn and try new things. Many even came to my classroom when I asked for volunteers to help my students build Morse code oscillators. I’ve also made many friends in the club.
Ham radio is a hobby with a hundred hobbies (a few are listed on the New Ham Advice on our website). It’s been enjoyable watching club members reach out to help others find their current favorite hobby within ham radio.
We have a great club because of its members. It’s amazing to see so many of you volunteer to help, from being a VE, to helping with the calendar or the newsletter, to being on the board. The Valley Radio Club is a very giving group of people, and it’s an honor to have an opportunity to serve in a club with such people.
