NEW MEMBER… Welcome to Seamus KO6IIP from California. He joined as of Monday following his check in to our chat session. Look forward to more from him. We now have 16 new members so far in 2025.
HAM FAMILY SPOTLIGHT… The Lahr “hamily” lives in MN. Corwin KF0OZR, Declan KF0LMY, Mom WW0AMY, and Dad KF0LIH . Corwin and Declan are both youth members of our group, but we don’t hear them that much. They all work POTA, SSB, and other radio modes. Declan is very interested in airplanes and possible becoming a youth pilot. Look them up on QRZ. They do much as a family. Sailing their boat is one of the fun things they do. Hats off to the Lahr ham family. Hope they connect up to us soon.
VIDEO OF YACHT YOUTH… This video of Jacob WV4AM was just posted by W1DED. It is also shown on the QRZ page as a major video https://youtu.be/gLRLP46o1Lw
