To start off the new year, KARO ECHO would like member input on the following questions to help inform our training, meetings, nets, SETs, events, etc. Please take the time to provide feedback. We really hope for a high number of responses, whether you are currently active or not. There are no "right" answers, we'd like to know what you think, and make KARO ECHO an even better group. Anonymous responses are welcome, but you can also provide your call sign at the end, your preference.
