The April hybrid meeting of the Morris Radio Club will be held Monday night April 17th at 7:30 PM in Madison.

The scheduled guest speaker will be Ria N2RJ, the former ARRL Hudson Division Director.

[Ria Jairam @RiaJairam]

Friends and fellow members,

In 2018 you elected me to be your Director of your League. It was one of the highest honors I had received in my now 25+ years as a licensed radio amateur and it is one which I have immensely enjoyed doing.

I have gotten to know every club, every hamfest, many members, and every Field Day activation. I have been as far North, South, East and West in the Hudson Division as I could have gone, all the way to Saratoga County and Hoosick Falls, all the way down to Ocean-Monmouth, way out East to Peconic and right home here in Sussex County, NJ. And many, many club meetings, zoom and in-person. I really enjoyed every single one.

You, the members have always been my focus. Without you there would be no ARRL.

However, all good things must come to an end and as such I am stepping down as your Director effective Friday March 31 at 5PM Eastern. It was not an easy decision, and not based on any one thing.

You can rest assured that I will still continue to work to better
amateur radio, and be very much involved in the community. I loved what I did, and I am still here for you.

I still wish to be your friend and hope to work you on the air, and at Field Day or other places. You may even see me at your nearest hamfest!

Although, not with a red badge anymore, but with the same smile and ear to listen to you.

And I am still worth 150 points in VOTA!

As always, Peace and 73

Ria, N2RJ #hamradio

Merry Christmas

We hope Santa brought you something new for your ham radio hobby!
