Re: [BVARC] Reference Antenna Modeling Article -- QEX

2023-12-15 Thread Chris Medlin via BVARC

Hey Rick, I’m from arkansas so sometimes you gotta type slower… so what youre 
saying is that reading this guys progression of articles will take you from 
zero to hero with the modeling software?
Thats great because ive always wanted to learn how to use and have never found 
(or never looked in the right place) a resource that takes the user from no 
knowledge to usable state.

Thanks!

All,

I hope you're doing well. I am writing to let you know about a significant 
development in my personal life that I want to share with you.

After careful consideration and extensive discussions with my family, I decided 
to step down from the upcoming "2 years at Large" position at the BVARC BOD, a 
role I was elected to assume in the next two years. This decision has been made 
with great thought and reflection, primarily prompted by the necessity to 
prioritize family matters.

The main reason behind this choice is a family matter requiring immediate 
attention and active involvement. Regrettably, my father-in-law passed away on 
December 10th and owned a business; there is a significant need for assistance 
during the transitional period. In light of this, my family and I have decided 
that it is in our collective best interest to relocate and dedicate my time and 
effort to fulfilling his wishes and supporting the smooth transition of the 
business.

I hope you understand about this. I am grateful for the opportunity to have 
been part of the BVARC community and genuinely appreciate the support and 
camaraderie that has defined my time with the club. I am committed to staying 
connected and involved in whatever capacity proves feasible.

I appreciate your understanding during this challenging time. I look forward to 
maintaining our connection and staying in touch with the club.

All,

I hope you're doing well. I am writing to let you know about a significant
development in my personal life that I want to share with you.

After careful consideration and extensive discussions with my family, I
decided to step down from the upcoming "2 years at Large" position at the
BVARC BOD, a role I was elected to assume in the next two years. This
decision has been made with great thought and reflection, primarily prompted
by the necessity to prioritize family matters.

The main reason behind this choice is a family matter requiring immediate
attention and active involvement. Regrettably, my father-in-law passed away
on December 10th and owned a business; there is a significant need for
assistance during the transitional period. In light of this, my family and I
have decided that it is in our collective best interest to relocate and
dedicate my time and effort to fulfilling his wishes and supporting the
smooth transition of the business.

I hope you understand about this. I am grateful for the opportunity to have
been part of the BVARC community and genuinely appreciate the support and
camaraderie that has defined my time with the club. I am committed to
staying connected and involved in whatever capacity proves feasible.

I appreciate your understanding during this challenging time. I look forward

 Not only does it add SO MUCH MORE to that QSO but it gives you something to
