New Year's greetings to all, and especially to Hudson Division Vice Director Joyce Birmingham, KA2ANF, who took office at noon yesterday.

Reminder: effective January 1, 2004 the maximum rate for reimbursement of mileage by private auto is 37.5 cents per mile, up from 36 cents per mile in 2003. (You are of course welcome to claim a lesser amount.)

73,
Dave Sumner, K1ZZ
