For those who are not yet aware, I heard from my Contest Club (YCCC) on December 15th that Ed Landry, N2HX had passed away. Besides being a HARC and SOVARC member, Ed was one of the more active hams in our region. He lived a full retirement with many trips to the Carribean where he operated HF radio from his hotel balcony and always had a fun tale to tell. He brought support and ideas to both local radio clubs as well as the Yankee Clipper Contest Club and will be missed. Personally, I will miss running into him at various ham fests, Hemmings Cruise-ins and occasionally on HF. Randy N1SP

You have come to the right place! Even though the name of this group is my callsign, N1SP, it is open for use of the SOVARC club to improve our communications chain. In the future I will try to update the title to SOVARC. (I will have to do some admin work) Feel free to chat about any club or ham related topic that you have. Let me know if you have any questions on use. Happy Holidays and 73, Randy N1SP
