Hi All. It's holiday time, and I wish you all the best the season has to offer. As I do each month, I'm asking for word of your doings that illustrate how ARRL is working for its membership. Anything is fair game -- aiding with materials for a school or club, interceding on behalf of a member to a governmental body, even going to a gathering (hamfest or something other) to let people know that we're here, we care, we listen and we're able to help and serve our members. I really appreciate your help. Please e-mail me directly with your items. My deadline is Friday, Dec. 15 for the February 2004 issue. Thanks and 73, Dave Hassler - K7CCC QST News Editor k7ccc@arrl.org
