DELARA meeting forecast 2022

We ran Joe a bit short in November, and it’s only fair (plus, it was interesting!!) to have him reprise his study of propagation for us in January! We’re sure there will be plenty of war stories to entertain as we do our study! January - Joe, K8MP, on HF propagation February - Delaware County Weather Net March - Wrapup of the MUD event
