[bars] Hello from your new newsletter editor

[Marla A. Wallace]

I hope to serve as editor of the BARS newsletter in a manner you all find satisfactory.  I've never served in this capacity, so if I get off to a rocky start, please forgive my "growing pains".

I've been a ham since 1966 and was a member of Chelmsford Amateur Radio Association (CARA) until its dissolution.  As a member of the Honeywell 1200 Radio Club, I helped to put W1DC/R on the air by designing and constructing the original control logic for the repeater.  W1HH was my father and Andy, KA1GTT, your president, is my younger, smarter brother (he's twisting my arm as I wrote that, hi, hi).

I have other commitments on most Wednesday nights, so you probably won't be seeing me at meetings and I rarely check into the net, but I'm a regular at Stellio's on Saturday morning.  So feel free to buttonhole me there.

If you have material to submit to the newsletter, sending it to me in email at the address above is best.  You can send your submission as plain text or as a Word document file as an attachment or simply include the text in the body of the email.  I will have to format it and merge it with other material, anyway, so there's no need to make it pretty.
