We had a great turnout at Coloma this year for annual event. The weather was excellent on Saturday and we had many visitors. A few people got their first try at running a HF station. The station logged 449 contacts between all the events. On Sunday the weather was a bit cooler, and we didn’t have as many visitors but had several different people operate the HF station. Thanks to everyone who helped with the event.

It was good to see everyone after our holiday break and we had a good turnout for the first meeting of the year.
We need a photographer for the meetings so I can add pictures to the website!
We started our member spotlights during the meeting. I volunteered to go first and give a short biography about myself.
Sandy KO6EQF filled in for JR and presented three months of “220 Use It, Or Lose It” net raffle winners. Congratulations to Peter, AE7TV October winner, N6RJM, Robin November winner and Mike, KK6MU December winner.

Everyone who attended our annual holiday dinner had a good time. We had a great turnout at the Lions Club and shared some great food. Some lucky people left with some new radio gear or goodies. We hope everyone has a great holiday season and look forward to seeing everyone in January 2026. Don't forget to check into the nets.
