We are looking forward to seeing you all this Friday for the August meeting of the club!  I hope you all enjoyed the picnic yesterday.  Our August meeting topic is NVIS... what is NVIS you ask:

NVIS (Near Vertical Incidence Skywave) can sound complicated, but it’s actually simpler than you may think—especially once a few common misconceptions are cleared up. We'll take a shortcut to the basic methods to harness NVIS for reliable regional HF communications. By focusing on practical frequency choices, easy-to-understand antenna setups, and clear real-world deployment tips, you’ll discover how simple NVIS really is. You'll emerge with the insight and confidence needed to make NVIS work effectively—without complexity getting in the way.
