 First 

I want to send out a Congratulations to Bob Kesson K7CGA and David Enos KF6QAG for reaching the Idaho Winlink Wednesday Net Century Club by checking in 100 times. We now have 30 who have reached this level. We have others who will soon be able to join this club. Keep checking in and you too can reach 100 

For the month of February we are going have a little bit of a challenge based on your experience and radio connection type.

Each week send a current weather picture and a Weather report with your picture. This will be a great way to polish your skills.
