It is hard to believe 2025 is half over and the summer heat has settled in with monsoon season on the way.

I always think with the rising temperatures and the monsoon flooding how important emergency communications are.

We as amateur radio operators could, one day, find ourselves as the only link to loved ones for many people who may have lost power etc.

On June 28th, we at the Shack, participated in the Annual ARRL Summer Field Day. See RESULTS HERE. What made this special is that Greg (K7YDL) completely rewired our Radio Room and enabled us to tie
into an external generator to operate on emergency power.

Our Radio Room has grown over the last 6 years as we added newer radios etc and Greg spent many hours on this project! Thanks Greg!!!

As the Dog days of summer continue - we will be working on Class schedules for the fall. Be sure to check our website for updates.

If you have any issues with your equipment and are looking for parts or advice - remember we have very qualified monitors and a great inventory of parts at the Shack. We also have a large
inventory of refurbished equipment for sale thanks to the many donations helping us to keep the doors open and air conditioning running.

Please stay safe, healthy, humble and kind.
