Amateur Radio Public Service

Hello ARMAD Group:

Well, it's hard to believe that 2010 is here already. I want to thank every one for your participation in ARMAD, and for your support. There is so much good in what we are doing using Amateur Radio.

ARMAD has been blessed over the past few years. We have been able to introduce Amateur Radio into the lives of many people by helping to show support for our Troops and Veterans using our hobby.

It is important for us to find ways to promote the hobby while at the same time using our resources to help others with public service. Through our contacts with military families, the media, and other resources ARMAD has helped to make this happen.

We have placed Amateur Radio in the forefront using many avenues that were not open in the past to our hobby. One such means to accomplish this is the Hosier "Hunk's On The Right" Calendar. http://indyteaparty.bigcartel.com/

Attention has also been brought to our hobby through political figures, and to the general public because of our efforts. I urge all of us to continue to use our hobby to support, show thanks and appreciation; and to help our military members in any way that we can using our hobby.

Let's work together to make 2010 the best year yet for public service for our Troops, and Veterans. Amateur Radio is a great tool to lead the way.

Have a safe and great New Year.
