Monthly Summaries
How did June get here so fast?
I'm still behind on appointments. They should be taken care of this month. For those of you who wonder about the large number of Assistant Section Managers, I am appointing ASMs with specific responsibilities within the Section. There will be a new class, however. These will be Assistant Section Manager Emeritus. These are people who have been ASMs and who have served the Section. The ASME appointment recognizes those individuals and allows them to continue wearing their ASM badges. The appointment identifies them as people who I can go to for help, advice, and to take on special assignments. I'll announce those next month.
Field Day is one of the best events we have in ham radio. It's a time to test our skills and to give the public a chance to see us at work.. You have probably seen my email announcing that the Nebraska Governor, Dave Heineman, declared June 22-28 "Amateur Radio Week". The proclamation may be downloaded from my website: http://www.ctwsoft.com/proclamation. Among the things cited is Field Day "a 24 hour emergency exercise and demonstration of the Radio Amateurs' skills and readiness to provide self-supporting communications even in locations without further infrastructure." We are also recognized for Skywarn, for public service, and for our support of state agencies like NEMA, counties, and municipalities.
Have fun. Make lots of contacts. Renew friendships and find new friends. This is our week and a very special weekend. It's a time to feel very good about who we are and what we do.

SICK CALL
These are Amateur Radio Operators who are ill and need our support. Please send get well cards or QSL cards with your best wishes on them as they recover from their illnesses or surgeries. I will post along with their names what they are recovering from only with the permission of the families or the member themselves.
(At this time I have no listings for sick call)
SILENT KEYS
While we celebrate the friends that they were, it is with sadness that we recognize the loss of these hams from our fold.
