President’s Message
One of the things I’ve always appreciated about hams is their can-do attitude: “If I don’t know about something, I can learn it.” It’s why we offer classes to the public and to each other, and why almost every meeting has a presentation. We clearly don’t buy into the, “I’m too old to learn new things” mantra.
There is so much to learn. It’s been said that amateur radio is a hobby with 1000 hobbies. We even have a list on the New Ham Advice page showing many of them. As warmer weather begins, outdoor radio projects and POTA, SOTA or mobile communication will increase, hopefully, you’ll take the opportunity to learn new things.
Amateur radio is full of wonderful people who will Elmer you if you ask—whether that’s at a club meeting, on-line, or in person. It’s one of the reasons I love being a part of the Valley Radio Club.
