M2 Antennas to sponsor ARRL event

M2 Antenna Systems has generously agreed to be
Principal Awards Sponsor for the 2006 ARRL June VHF QSO Party

For many years, the Fresno, California, company has been a popular source of high-performance antennas for VHF, UHF, microwave contesters and DXers and especially customized array systems--although M2 also makes antennas for HF work.

"As M2 Antenna Systems continues to capture more of the Amateur Radio and commercial antenna markets, we are delighted it has agreed to support an operating event that so many of its customers pursue with a great deal of
passion," said ARRL Chief Operating Officer Harold Kramer, WJ1B.

M2 Antenna Systems Sales and Marketing Manager Wyatt Lyzenga, KF6VMW, says Amateur Radio makes up nearly two-thirds of his company's business. "M2 is a family owned and operated business with old-time values," he says. Its
owners are Mike and Myrna Staal, K6MYC and K6MYM. "We enjoy our work and the time we spend designing and building products and finding solutions to customers' requirements. We're one of the last customer-oriented manufacturers."

After 32 years in the antenna business, M2 has a good handle on both technical expertise and real-world experience, Wyatt says. "Our goal is to produce the best, highest performance products possible within cost and time limits," he adds. "We strive for customer satisfaction in our products."

M2 Antenna Systems will be Principal Awards Sponsor for all unsponsored plaques for the June event. As Principal Awards Sponsor, M2's name will appear on all plaques it sponsors, and its name and logo on all certificates that go out to top scorers in the various event categories.

Agreeing to be Principal Awards Sponsor for the 2006 ARRL June VHF QSO Party is one way to let the amateur community know that M2 is interested in contests and let participating hams "know that we're there for them and can
help them out," Wyatt says. "Over the long haul, it helps us help our customers better."
