My apologies for a late February edition, but I have been out of action with a severe cold and just couldn't seem to get myself into gear for the last week or so. I wish to welcome a large number of new subscribers this month coming mainly from various amateur radio clubs across Canada. We are being teased a little by Mother Nature here in Eastern Canada over the last week or so. Warm weather and sunshine has had everyone hoping for an early spring, myself included! But, of course, the rest of February and the unpredictable month of March are yet to come, so let's not jump the gun too quickly. More snow is forecasted for our region tomorrow. *************************************************** CONTENTS THE MONTHLY SURVEY THE COMMENTS ZONE THE CONTRIBUTORS ZONE THE MONTHLY SPECIAL ZONE THE FEBRUARY ZONE THE RADIO ZONE THE GENERAL ZONE THE FUN & SERVICES ZONE THE HAMFEST/FLEAMARKET AND SPECIAL EVENTS ZONE THE RESOURCES ZONE *************************************************** THE MONTHLY SURVEY LAST MONTH'S SURVEY What was your 2005 New Year's Resolution? (and, have you kept it so far), that is if you made any at all. We had 16 responses to the survey. 7 people indicated that they do not make any New Year Resolutions. 6 people indicated that they hoped to exercise, lose weight and take better care of themselves. 2 people wanted to get actively involved in ham radio and one of you wanted to focus more on his retirement and act more retired! THIS MONTH'S SURVEY How about talking about classic television this time around? Our question is: What is your all-time favourite television show, past or present? Please send your response, by e-mail, to hfnewsletter@yahoo.com **************************************************** THE COMMENTS ZONE BRUCE WEISS, Richmond, Virginia: Thank you for the very informative newsletter you put together each month.
