I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday season! So far I’ve heard of just one Es event just before Christmas that very briefly made it to FM and another Es event that was noticed by Chris Dunne down in Florida that went briefly to FM from Colombia. F2 skip faded away somewhat as the solar flux dropped down to the 130s. So, all in all, December has been mostly uneventful. But keep looking because anything can still happen. We’ve prepared a “State of the Club” message for this issue. -

In order to adequately implement this directive of the Act, the Commission must first have a complete, accurate, thorough, and robust understanding of the true level of female and minority ownership; how that level has changed over time; and how past policies have impacted such owners.
