5. Auction 2021

   With Winterfest cancelled in 2020 and 2021, the club had accumulated over 400 items of ham gear through donations and consignment.  In order to liquidate this inventory, we conducted an online auction in June of 2021.  On July 10 a fulfillment team met at the club's storage facility to retrieve and deliver approximately 300 items purchased at auction.

   The VWS antenna team tackled its first project of 2020 which involved raising a new 80m fan dipole, refurbishing the existing antenna, installing a grounding system, a window cable pass-thru and wiring in the shack.  Work was done for Tim, W4CLK.  The antenna team for this project was led by Mike (WA8AHZ) and included: John (K1NME), Leon (NT8B), Mike (KN4VKN), Dave ( KN4MHP) and Joe (KN4JVV) and Don (KM4UDX).  A highly successful installation!

11. Thank you Pete!

    At the 10 January 2020 meeting we celebrated Pete Hadley's service to the club for over a decade as Chairman of the Board of Directors, President, Vice President, and the man who does so many things beyond those job descriptions.  His award included a digital picture frame with the photos initially uploaded to this album. 
    Please help celebrate Pete's service by adding your own pictures from work with Pete.  When we get a bunch, we'll download them to his frame. You can also add a note for Pete by commenting.
