2010 marks five years of outstanding W4AVA repeater system service to the national capital region. We owe our ability
to enjoy and rely on this expansive repeater system to trustee David Jordan WA3GIN and our hard-working ARPSC repeater
committee, which puts in a lot of time maintaining the system.
The New Year rings in some changes in the Arlington Radio Public Service Club. After several years as club president,
Dan Gillenwater K9SLY takes a spot on the Board of Directors and Dale Robertson NV8U has been appointed to the post of
Second Vice President. I thank Dan for his service to the club and wish him the best as a director, and congratulate
Dale, who has been such a critical part of the ARPSC repeater committee. I've been appointed club president for 2010.
Why not challenge yourself this year to try something new in ham radio? How about training for registration in Arlington
County RACES?
Do digital modes interest you? Abundant software is available for the many digital modes hams are now using, and several
ARPSC members can offer advice on working out some of the typical PC interfacing bugs. Our latest club
newsletter includes an excellent article by John WC3Q explaining how to get started chasing DX. Interested in contesting? The Virginia QSO
Party in March is just one of many contests scheduled in the coming weeks.
Is someone you know interested in ham radio? Consider becoming their "Elmer" and introduce them to our wonderful
pastime!
