Download a sample of our USA newsletter in pdf format. A typical Keynote runs from 24-84 pages, depending on how much news and how many stories we receive to print. 

We will also include a newsletter from one of our foreign FISTS Chapters if one is available, since many US members find the DX contributions to be interesting. Reading the DX news also helps foster friendships across the globe.

The newsletter is printed on paper (with color photographs) and mailed via the postal system and is not available via email at this point in time.

It is published aproximately 10 issue per year, including a Reference Issue and a Photopages issue, which is similar to a yearbook. There may also occasionally be a "combo" issue if time is crunched, like around the holidays or Dayton time.

If you haven't sent your photo to Ken W8ROG for inclusion in the Photopages issue yet, please do so - it's fun to put a face with a callsign.

The Keynote depends on your writing contributions, so if you have a helpful ham hint, operating suggestion, code learning tip, story about your first times on the air, tribute to an Elmer, product review, antenna project...just about anything, please send it in to Nancy WZ8C, PO Box 47 Hadley MI 48440.
