Hello fellow Ham operators, as you have all probably heard by now, KC8UOM has passed away last week. It was brought to our attention that a GoFundMe has been organized to offset his medical expenses incurred during the last month. Please consider any donation at all to his family. His obituary can be found here. I would encourage anyone to leave a supportive message.  Tom was an incredible asset to the club, not only for his work as the ARRL VE Team liaison but also took on many projects like the pneumatic mast trailer as well as helping at numerous service events. He was a true friend to all that knew him and he was always willing to lend a hand on antenna projects and other radio-related "Elmer" assistance. The word "Elmer" is not one we use frequently anymore in our circle, but Tom exemplified what it meant to be one.
