Great Monday!
You know I am never surprised when it comes to new hams. I received a call yesterday from a fellow studying for his technician license. He is excited to come to his first HAM meeting next month and ready to take his test in July. He asked me to assist him with programming a radio so he can monitor HAM radio. You say what is the hoopla? Well, he is eighty-three years young! I am excited for his excitement! A great time to come to our meeting and meet Carl next month.
WE have a WINNER!!!! John Thacker KU8Q has come out of retirement and will be our VERY capable net controller on the second Tuesday net for the LWRA. Thank you to all our controllers and welcome John!
John encouraged me about seven years ago to become a net controller. He’s the one to blame for getting me involved.
QRP will not be this month we encourage you to participate in Filed Day either from your location, LARC or other area clubs have events as well.
Don’t forget the nets: We need ya!
Check out W4JFS’ ‘flavor of the day’ (what repeater we are highlighting that day) on Signal Chat.
Don’t forget WINLINK Monday: We need you here too!
