Confidence is increasing in a strong to severe storm complex moving across southeast Nebraska this evening. Damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph are the primary hazard, though isolated hail and a brief tornado can’t be ruled out. Stay weather aware.

Thank You From Madonna
Aaron Rogge, N0ADR

Please share the following with the crew
that helped make the inaugural Pedal for Madonna a success!
The idea for Pedals started over a year and a half ago as one of Madonna’s recreation therapists approached
the Foundation with such an idea. This concept took some buy in from administration and when they finally said yes, we began the process of planning.
All I can say is that it would not have been
possible without you all. Was the event
perfect, no. Are there opportunities to make it
even better, absolutely! But, the overall
sentiment we received form participants was
that the route was well marked, inviting for
riders of all abilities, it was “fun,” and people
felt safe! And you made the latter happen.Our team learned a ton from you all when it comes to executing such an event and will
certainly touch base with you soon for a debrief from your perspective.Once we get next year’s event on the
calendar, I will be sure to send it your way as it is my hope to have you all back on the course again in 2027.
Thanks again for all you and your team did for this event, and for all you do in making sure other events are safe for participants.
AND, a big thank you for keeping our larger
community as a whole aware when it comes
to severe weather outbreaks. You certainly
had a busy few days last week!
Sincerely,
Nate Driml CAP®
Associate Vice President of Development

Club meetings are free and open to all. No need to have a license
or club membership. We welcome anyone who has an interest in
amateur radio.
Program
The basic idea is to build up an intuitive understanding of how an antenna works and what is going on in the wire when transmitting, beginning with a Tech level of understanding, and then migrating into practical application by building a Flower Pot Antenna.
