Friendship
“In everyone’s life, at some time, our
inner fire goes out. It is then burst
into flame by an encounter with
another human being. We should all
be thankful for those people who
rekindle the inner spirit,” - Albert
Schweitzer
Ham radio is the original social
media- launched on common terms
of science, experimentation,
conversation and that magical
element of sending a signal around
the world. These days,
conversation can take a back seat
to technology…Internet, computers,
cellphones and more have
minimized the importance of just
holding a conversation with a
friend. With the technology that
permeates our daily lives we should
pay attention to what is arguably
still the most important part of our
hobby- conversation! Getting to
know people, and caring about
them.
I believe DELARA is exceptional in
that aspect, with a sense of family
and friendship a very important
part of our gatherings. From Mike,
W8MDC dedicating every evening
to our ‘informal’ evening COVID net
to Bob, organizing the digital gang,
to any number of others who work
to keep our friendships going-
please accept our thanks!
