>number of visitors to your site.  Several section officials and I will

>cameras so have your best smiles ready.

>on the air.  Also, ask how YOU can help as a net control station and

>TC report from Don, N4TZH: TSs reporting for April were WA4AW, W4KPG,
>N4BG, WB9JTK, KF4KDO, KE4PWE, and KR4GQ.
>
>EC report from Jeff, WA4AW:  ECs reporting for April were AD4RZ,
>WA4GUK, WA4ASJ, N5KFR, KG4CHW, KA4HLO  & N4LEM.  There were 88 drills,
>tests & training sessions, 2 Public Service events, 14ARES Nets, 7 with

>will be conducting a section wide SET (Simulated Emergency Test) on the
>weekend of June 11.  County ECs will be in touch with local members.
>Everyone should monitor local repeaters.
>
>
>The section news page is a work in progress for the last few months and
>it looks like that will hold true through June. Work and family have
>taken a lot of my time during the last six weeks.  Check back often to
>see the latest photos and news.  I am trying to keep items on there for
>about 6 weeks after posting rather than changing everything each month
>and I hope that I can keep things more current than they have been in
>the past.  I can't stress enough to you that I need your news.  If your
>club info is not in the news and there have been a newsworthy event
>just send a short e-mail to me.  I try to surf the internet and find
>club newsletters but that is time consuming -- I can copy and paste
>from an e-mail.
>
>
>I have heard of at least 5 new licensees under the age of 18 in the
>section within the last 30 days.  Details that are available are on the
>news page, or will be soon.
>
>
>That's all for now. I hope many of you for an eyeball QSO on Field Day
>or maybe work some of your stations as I stop home overnight.
>
>Stay safe and stay on the air.

Think about it .....
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
