It's with a heavy heart that I relay a message from the family of Dan Mattingly. He's currently at Sky Lakes Medical Center and receiving comfort/palliative care. If anyone would like to pay him a last visit, his room number is 217. 73, Charlie / K7AKT

Hey everyone! With great joy I'm announcing the pending birth of my 2nd son! Mom is doing well and we're excited to meet him. BUT, This means I am shutting down the node and moving it to the rack in the garage. When the weather breaks here and time allows we'll be moving all the antennas to the other side of the house. I do plan on reconnecting soon. I wanted to personally thank Chris WW2BSA, David W7EES, Ken W9GM for their many hours on the phone and through email helping me set my node up correctly and work out any kinks. Their support and encouragement made made the difference a few times between figuring out the issue or just shutting the node down. Thank you so much gentlemen. My goal is to have a 2m winlink VARA gateway up soon to keep our podunk backwoods connected. Again, thank you all so much for the help, and we hope to see you all soon. Devin KJ7OES Grants pass,OR

Hello Everybody, There is a lot more to amateur radio than just working local stations There was a station in Clipperton Island lately. It's like throwing a rock from here. The big man KA6BIM did much better than me but not having the butt in the chair for the entire time here is my result: Log to search:TX5S109,599 QSOs logged between 2024-01-20 02:13Z and 2024-01-28 02:30ZCallsign to check: BandSSBCWFT8801401301201117111511211011 I love CW, the original digital mode! 73, Jim WO7V

Hello Everyone. There is a DX operation on Cliperton Island, which is an "All Time New One" (ATNO) for me. So far I have worked them 4 times on 4 bands using 3 modes SSB, CW, and of course, FT8 so if you want to know where they are use this link which will tell the frequency and mode of operation. Keep in mind that the time list is UTC. Good luck to everyone who tries. 73, Jim WO7V

Some sad news via a social media post; Christopher Tipton, KB7GYU, passed away Tuesday, January 2nd. His sister, Shirley KC7FEU, would undoubtedly be comforted to hear from her fellow hams, both on the air and via telephone. Chris could always be heard on the Hamaker 85 repeater requesting access to "Docking Bay 2" when headed to the back door after returning home from work or from a grocery run. We are so sorry for your terrible loss, Shirley! Erik KD6RRR
