Tuesday’s meeting went well with 31 members in attendance. Among these were 5 new members, including 2 new licensees. In addition to learning about NVIS antennas, members were given an update as the status of the new ARES trailer and the upcoming Hamfest. The post-presentation “meet and greet” lasted well into the evening and was finally ended when the building’s cleaning staff kicked us out.

Mark your calendars for next month’s meeting. The General Meeting will be starting at 7:00 pm (Feb 24th). It will be our annual Severe Weather Spotter Training presented by the National Weather Service. If you can come a bit early, the MID-IOWA Skywarn Association will be having their meeting at 6:30 pm at the same location. MISA supports Amateur Radio operations and operator training in conjunction with the National Weather Service.

One note: the location of the 2/24 meeting will be on the third floor and not the second.
