SECTION MANAGER, JEAN PRIESTLEY, KA2YKN
I looked at the calendar the other day at work and asked myself "self, where did the summer go and did we have spring and will we have fall"? The answer was its gone and lets hope for a real fall. It has really been too hot to do much antenna and tower work. Maybe the fall will be kinder to us.
