Silent Key- Bob Nelson, KA9PMZ
N9JWO (Bill) has informed the club of the passing of KA9PMZ (Bob Nelson) of Lansing, Illinois. Bob was a valuable club member and will be missed. When the Cracker Barrel Net needed a net control, Bob stood up, took the challenge and handled it brilliantly.

Thanks to All who Volunteer!!
= A Plea for Volunteers =
As 2008 kicks off, we need many volunteers to step forward to help lead the club. Most importantly, we need a nominating committee to find candidates for all club officer positions. The events and activities that you have enjoyed during the year do not happen by themselves. These things happen because of the efforts of our fine board of directors and club member’s selfless contributions. If you wish Tri-Town to continue it’s present format and move forward, please consider donating some of your spare time to help accomplish the club’s mission …enjoyment of the amateur radio hobby.
