WSWSS to disband

A sad sign of the times. The Western States Weak Signal Society will cease to exist as of February 1st. Amateur Radio Newsline's Jeff Reinhardt, AA6JR, has more:

Word of the demise of the Western States Weak Signal Society comes in the re-posting to the VHF Reflector of a note received by Jim Foster, NN7K, from the society's treasurer Paul Hammer, KA6CHJ.

In it, Hammer says that he is the only functioning officer remaining. He says that requests for members to fill the other vacant positions did not yield enough volunteers.

According to the post, membership dues will begin being refunded, with payments received in December 2006 and working backward. Any remaining funds will be donated to the ARRL Spectrum Defense Fund. Remaining office supplies will go to the local Salvation Army.

The Western States Weak Signal Society certificate program will also cease. Hammer says that all remaining awards to be distributed to those waiting by mid-February.
