I’m always “selling” the benefits of Amateur Radio to my friends, and one of the things I mention is you get to meet some wonderful people. I consider myself very lucky to know Bob Beaudet, W1YRC, RI’s Section Manager and avid DXer (on top of many other things).
Bob’s been a strong advocate for the ARRL for many years, and puts his money where his mouth is. He recently received a batch of QSL cards from the ARRL honoring the fact that he is a member of the Maximum Society. The Maximum Society is a group of individuals whose extraordinary generosity continues to support the ARRL, having contributed a minimum of $10,000. I received one of his card in the mail the other day.
While I belong to the Diamond Club, it will take me many more years to reach Bob’s level of giving.
Nice job, Bob, and thanks for all you do day in and day out to make Amateur Radio fun for all Rhode Island hams!
