Spring is almost here, although it is hard to tell some days. My bulbs and shrubs are all confused. The calendar does say however that it’s almost time for yard and antenna work so we can start making those plans.
The nets have been doing well, lots of check-ins, handling lots of traffic. I was invited to give a presentation on NTS to the Framingham Club, which was most enjoyable. They were a very attentive group and asked lots of good questions. If anyone else belongs to a club in the section and would like a presentation on NTS and traffic handling let me know.
Below is the February traffic report for East and West Mass, again thanks to the excellent work of Greg KC1CIC. See you all on the nets.
