> The title on this episode email is "How to Bring Your Ham Club Back to Life".  This is what Jim Stafford, W4QO, did, along with a dedicated team, with the North Fulton Amateur Radio League beginning in 2005.  The club was dying a slow death with only a handful of members. Over the next few years, the club changed by aggressively going after new members and supporting them. One of the things that struck me, from the club's website, was the use of Elmers to provide one- on- one assistance to hams who needed help. The NFARL has" antenna build-a-thons" and "mid-month madness activities" on a regular basis to keep their membership engaged with each other.  Jim describes in this episode how important it is to connect and keep connecting with other hams to keep membership growing and vibrant in our amateur radio clubs.

I could not have had better mentors as a teenager. My QSO Today with Jim, W4QO, caused me to reminisce about my great ham radio club experiences. Be sure to check out the NFARL website as a possible template to revive or create a local club near you!
