[ADXA] ADXA President

[Tom Northfell W5XNA]

Thanks, Jay for stepping in and taking the lead this year.  I know you put
your heart into it.

You also play a major role in the ongoing success of the Bella Vista Radio
Club.

Last, thanks for being an Elmer to many, including myself.

73 and good dx,

Tom W5XNA
