   In a DX foundation press release, ClubLog reminded users that the   
   expensive upgrade of its servers is necessary to support expanded   
   activity.  Michael said: [quote] "...once the new servers are deployed,   
   Club Log will be using cutting edge servers which are faster, more   
   energy efficient and ready for years of high-endurance 24/7 work. "

   KICKER: HEADQUARTERS FIELD DAY FOR OUR 2022 YHOTY WINNER   
      
   NEIL/ANCHOR: On the amateur radio calendar, ARRL Field Day is one of   
   the most anticipated days of the year. For one YL in particular - and   
   for Amateur Radio Newsline, the late-June event was one for the   
   logbooks. Our final story for this week is about her - as we hear from   
   Don Wilbanks AE5DW.   
      
   DON: With 1,536 sites in ARRL's Field Day locator, one in particular   
   stands out: Headquarters station W1AW in Newington, Connecticut.   
   Operators at the Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Station were, of course,   
   calling "CQ Field Day" but if you were lucky enough to log this   
   6F-class station on Saturday, June 28th there's a good chance you may   
   have worked Audrey McElroy, KM4BUN. Audrey was the Bill Pasternak,   
   WA6ITF Memorial Amateur Radio Newsline Young Ham of the year for 2022.   
   The Georgia resident has been in Connecticut working on an internship   
   in support of her electrical engineering studies at Georgia Tech.   
   Audrey is, of course, a Field Day veteran and a former operator for the   
   Dave Kalter Memorial Youth DX Adventure to Curacao. Dayton Hamvention   
   attendees may have also met her in Xenia, Ohio, as a presenter.   
      
   This year's Field Day at W1AW was a proud moment for us here at   
   Newsline and we wish Audrey continued success and, of course, good DX.   
      
   This is Don Wilbanks AE5DW.

   IT'S HAM RADIO HAIKU TIME   
      
   A good QSO can be like poetry - sometimes! So why not write a haiku   
   about amateur radio and join the Newsline haiku challenge? It's as easy   
   as writing a QSL card. We can only accept the correct haiku format   
   -that is, a three-line verse with five syllables in the first line,   
   seven in the second and five in the third. Submit your work on our   
   website at arnewsline.org - each week's winner gets a shout-out on our   
   website, where everyone can find the winning haiku.
