?Life members such as myself have been getting QST in printed form since becoming Life members.
The ARRL Board of directors are dropping it ..
EXCEPT life members of over 10 years ago were to get QST mailed as part of the Life Membership deal..

They now are opting life members out if they DO NOT elect to have printed QST's delivered and members have 30 days to respond. The email offing the opt out, came 6 days into the 30 day window.

I opted to keep receiving the printed QST..

Because of that... Once I thumb through them, I'll bring them to the VFW amateur Radio Club radio room.

Anyone that wants to read one, or take it can do so.. I currently have 3-4 months of QST's.. I usually took them to hamfests, but I think W0VFW club members are more deserving than me selling them for 25 cents at a side walk sale.

ARLX009 Tropical Storm Hilary: Amateur Radio Activates

Amateur Radio operators activated on Sunday, August 20, 2023 to
provide communications and information for Tropical Storm Hilary. As
of mid-morning Sunday, the system was moving up the Baja Peninsula
of Mexico, expected to cross into Southern California. Heavy rains
were falling in San Diego, and local media reported that 250 airline
flights had been canceled.

Amateur radio operations began Sunday morning. The WX4NHC amateur
radio station - - at the National Hurricane
Center was on air. "WX4NHC will be on the air on the Hurricane Watch
Net frequencies of 14.325 MHz and 7.268 MHz depending on
propagation. We will also be on VoIP Hurricane Net (IRLP node 9219 /
EchoLink WX-TALK Conference node 7203, ).

"We will also be monitoring WinLink reports via wx4nhc@...
(subject line must contain //WL2K)," wrote WX4NHC Amateur Radio
Assistant Coordinator Julio Ripoll, WD4R.

The Hurricane Watch Net (HWN) was also activated Sunday morning. "We
will remain active until our services are no longer required. This
system does have a good chance of crossing into California as a
Tropical Storm. If so, it will be the first Tropical Storm to hit
California since 1939," wrote net manager Bobby Graves, KB5HAV.

HWN seeks reports to relay to the National Hurricane Center in
Miami. They have operators who are fluent in English and Spanish to
take reports. "Such weather information we look for is maximum
sustained winds, winds gusts, wind direction, barometric pressure,
rainfall amount - how much over x-amount of time, storm surge, and
damage. Should you have any outgoing Health and Welfare Traffic
before, during, or after this event, we are happy to assist as we
work closely with the Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network
(SATERN)," wrote Graves.

HWN also exists to provide backup communications to official
agencies such as emergency operations centers, Red Cross officials,
and storm shelters in the affected area and relays damage reports.

The primary frequencies the net uses center on 14.325 MHz and 7.268
MHz, depending on propagation. HWN thanks radio amateurs for
yielding those frequencies during operation. "It certainly makes our
job easier, and I know those in the affected area appreciate it as
well," said Graves.

ARRL will continue to monitor the situation and update its various
social media outlets. HQ staff members are in contact with WX4NHC,
The Hurricane Watch Net, and VoIP Hurricane Net officials.

?Ham Radio President, Gaylen has mentioned he and Robert Goodale post commander, would like to see more participation of the ham club in other events within the VFW post 3115.. What better time.

2pm July 4th at the VFW post 3115 there is a POT LUCK for all the VFW family... That would include W?VFW group..

Pot luck means you bring a dish.. Even a jar of pickles ...
Now I don't want to see 8 jars of pickles.. Please....

I don't for see any problems with sitting out on the patio if smoke really bothers you.. I feel the same way..

NOTE:- it is expected at all the VFW feeds that drinks be bought from the canteen (bar). They do specialize in soda, coffee, tea and ice water.. As usual the bar maids will be circulating talking orders. Please tip them as it is custom.

Final Note- What better 4th of July pot luck dish than Polish Kielbasa and real Polish sauerkraut. That's what I'm bringing..
