As the latest RAC representative I certainly appreciate the continuing warm relationship between our two organizations and am sure we benefit from the information received both during and outside the formal meetings. @RACTWEETS

@RACTWEETS When I was on the ARRL Board I always enjoyed talking with the RAC representative. The friendly relationship meant a great deal to me and my ARRL colleagues. Still does, I'm sure.
