Welcome to Our New Home

It has been a long time coming, but thanks to David KG5EIU for taking this project on full swinging. The look of this site is ever evolving with all the news and current events of the Club.  We are not done yet, but fully engulfed in making this a great place.  The format of this site is considered a Blog with Static pages.  It is easy to change and easy to add content too.  Over the last week it has just taken off and grown with tons of new things as well as keeping some of the old.

We hope you enjoy the new look, so come back and check us out everyday, you are guaranteed to see something new.  If you would like to be considered a contributor to the site, please go to Here and ask to be apart of this adventure we now call Home.

Thanks for looking
