We had 20 participants for the Antenna Shootout and ran 41 tests consisting of mobiles, handhelds and portables. The weather was great and Tony, W6QA provided the club an excelent tesing location. Bob W1RH and Karen on the measurement side of the test did an excelent job. It was good to see some club members and prospective club members in person. More infomation will be presented at the April club meeting.

For all of the CW operators there is a new CW net. The CW net is on 6m at 50.099. It is being held every Monday evening at 7:30PM. The net controll station is Mark K6JJR in Auburn. The net will run at the speed of the slowest operator. Even for new CW operators listing to a net is good practice for improving your CW copy ability.
