Subject: [GCARC] Crosstalk wins ARRL national newsletter award!

It's my great pleasure to share some outstanding news. ARRL has informed us
that our club newsletter, CrossTalk, edited by Jeff Garth, WB2ZBN, has won
First Place in the Large Club category of the 2026 ARRL Year of the Club
Newsletter Contest. This is a national award, and it's a genuine point of
pride for W2MMD - and above all, it's a tribute to Jeff's dedication and
skill.
To put it in perspective: the contest drew more than 80 entries from clubs
across the country, so reaching the very top of that field is a real
achievement. In ARRL's words, the judges felt CrossTalk made good on our
motto - "Learning Stuff. Building Stuff. Doing Stuff - TOGETHER!" - praising
its well-written narratives, its positive tone, and the rich variety of
content spanning events, tips, technical know-how, and community-building.
None of this happens by accident, and the lion's share of the credit belongs
to Jeff. Month after month, he pulls together the content, the writing, and
the polish that make CrossTalk something we all look forward to. This award
is a recognition of his commitment and the countless hours he puts in on
behalf of every one of us. Jeff, on behalf of the entire membership - thank
you, and congratulations. This one is yours.
The winners will be honored at the Huntsville Hamfest in Huntsville, Alabama
on August 22-23, which this year also serves as the 2026 ARRL National
Convention, and the results will appear in QST magazine. I'm planning to
attend that event where we can recognize Jeff's accomplishments on a
national stage.
Please join me in congratulating Jeff and celebrating this well-earned
recognition of our club. It's a reflection of what we do best - learning,
building, and doing, together.
