#2) We would like to thank the "many" SMC members that were here to show their support in promoting the SMC and it's contesting activities.
KARS is proud to associate with this "Top Notch Group."
Jerry WB9Z, also an SMC member was promoting SMC as well.

#3) At right is ARRL Central Division Director Dick Isely, W9GIG.  Dick is representing the Central Division membership very well in Newington.  We understand Dick is promoting greater ARRL involvement in antenna legislation. (Check out the September 2001 edition of QST.)  Great job Dick, we're glad to have you working on our behalf.
BTW. Dick is also an avid contester and SMC member.
