Hello NLRS land
We will have a NLRS table in the Club Corral area at this Saturday's Midwinter Madness hamfest in Buffalo.  Full information about the hamfest can be found at https://k0ltc.org/midwinter-madness/   .   Stop by for an eyeball conversation and to share your plans for your summertime VHF+ activities.
Aurora'26, the largest annual gathering of weak-signal VHFers in the Upper Midwest, will take place on Saturday, May 30 from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm.  Same location as previous years, the West Medicine Lake Community Club, 1705 Forestview Lane North, Plymouth, MN.   We are still working on piecing together the afternoon technical program, but here is the pencil sketch so far:  
   
   - Building the 5760 W1GHZ Transverter 
   - An EME subject still in the works
   - Optical Communications Update
   - A 222 MHz beacon based on the RFZero Board
   - AI-assisted 222 MHz Yagi-Uda Design
   - Microwave DXing via rain scatter

During the morning parking lot session we plan to have at least two 5760 MHz systems where attendees can make their first 5760 QSO.  
73, JonW0ZQ
