A Message from the Chair - Ham Radio University 2009

This year we will be holding our tenth Ham Radio University event on Sunday, January 11, 2009. This year's HRU program will be nothing short of spectacular.

What is HRU? Many of you have already heard of Ham Radio University but the idea may be new to some of you. HRU was created by Phil Lewis, N2MUN. Phil was searching for ways to get inactive hams back into the swing of Amateur Radio. In addition, Phil wanted to help newly licenced hams who ask "What Now?". Since 1999, HRU has been bringing the local ham community together for a special day of learning and fellowship.

We are planning some new things this year, please check back here often for updates. Our keynote speaker this year is ARRL First Vice President, Kay Craigie N3KN, of Blacksburg, Virginia. Kay is past Atlantic Division Director and a dynamic speaker. Hear Kay's keynote address at 12 noon.

In short, there is something for everybody at Ham Radio University. If you have not been to an HRU, I encourage you to attend this year.

- Neil, KC2KY
