The big news of the day is our new section website which Phil K9HI has spent many hours getting ready for us. Many thanks to Phil and to Tom K1TW, our section manager for his inspiration in bringing this project to fruition. It is bringing all the section activities together in one place and I hope you will find it interesting, helpful and easy to use. Any suggestions on topics for the NTS page can be addressed to kw1u@arrl.net. This is your page for training and news in the world of message handling.
To those in the West Mass section (and that includes the folks in central Mass) we welcome a new Section Manager, Ray Lajoie KB1LRL. Ray has been active on the CM2M Net.
New amateurs are becoming involved in the traffic nets and they are most welcome. Congrats to Peter KC1HHO on his new ORS (Official Relay Station) appointment.
Below is the traffic report for East and West Mass sections with thanks to Greg KC1CIC for it’s compilation. You all are great. Keep up the good work.
