We are proud of our Operating Committee consisting of WA8VOE and KI8BV . You will notice our plans for special events on the Upcomming events item on the web page. We are also proud to have an Operating Trailer to take to the Lake Erie Islands, which are steeped in History and a well known tourist destination. Join us in these great chance of a lifetime sites and lots of fellow hams to do what hams to best.(Ham, refreshments, and commradery in the hobby) Past years have proven unique opportunities to see places normally off limits to the general public. Hold on to your hat Commodore Perry.

We are proud to have a unique Club house where we members have access 24/7. Fully equiped HF gear, Vhf-Uhf gear, our repeaters operations room and meeting room it is a fun place to access. This past year we upgraded our computer to a Pentium III class processor with a Pentium I being used for logging. We are currently working on our club history and how the club grew since 1932 when a few hams decided to organize and form what is today the, S.R.E.L. Future newsletters will include snippets of how we got started.
==================================================================
With our History in mind, we have awarded W8VPY(John) an award as the oldest living club member from the charter group. He has been thru the metamorphisis from the idea of a club in Sandusky to the members building a clubhouse. John still attends almost every meeting and is our "sage" in keeping us inline and ontrack. His bond is Bond #2.
Thank you John for making it possible for us to enjoy our club! More on John and the S.R.E.L. History in newsletters to come.
