Was wondering if this group was interested in doing hands on radio projects with some new hams outside of the BWRA. On Wednesdays at 9am a group meets in Milltown across from the big main Gas Station on Highway 35. Can¡¯t miss it with the tower on the side of the building. This is an independent group who¡¯ve set up a large footprint 70cm repeater in St. Croix Falls area. They are now working on a 2m as well. Very hands on group who are there to help hams get through issues with their hobby. Many are from the PCARA group and you may know them. One has a successful YouTube ham radio video site that has caught on. Whether it¡¯s just programming a radio or building some type of equipment they are doing it. If you have a need or just looking to break out for a day, try it. K9TWC Robert.?

We are still looking for someone to take over the official responsibilities as BWRA President. Also, if anyone is interested in starting/managing a BWRA Facebook page, let me know! If no change happens, we can just continue with our Wednesday Nets and monthly breakfasts.? Below is the message I sent out April 2022.

Effective
April
1st
2022,
I am retiring from the BWRA President. After 11 years as President it
is time for someone else to take the group in a better direction for
the good of the organization. I have run out of ideas and am finding
it difficult to inspire
members,
get better
participation at meetings, and bring in
interesting demonstrations for the group. Covid
had a major impact on small organizations like ours since we had to
cancel in person meetings for almost 15 months. I will
no longer be doing the repeater maintenance because of physical
limitations.
I
plan
to remain as BWRA
Secretary,
assist the new President in
planning &
organizing meetings,
keep
updating the web site &
groups.io,
attend
the monthly breakfast and coordinate
the Wednesday night 8pm Net Control schedule.
If
you are interested in helping by
accepting the challenge of being BWRA President ,
please let us know!
