LWRA Ham Bytes – Week of 7/14/25

Good Monday!

Well looks like the weather is going to be wet this week. A reminder DISCONNECT when not using your investment. A great meeting last week! We had more on Greets from all over with a good number in person. Thanks for the nice comments on the program.

I hope you’re excited for the QRP this month . It will be great to have our QRP’s TGT feature as well as just getting together. Bring a cold drink and come on out on the 26th at Simmers Young.

QRP will be this month at Simmers Young Park on the last Saturday 9-12 with the Tailgate Tech P2P (point to point) see attachments.

Big Dogs on the Porch will be there fixing’ a dog or two; so, bring a COOL drink and learn, play or just shoot the bull! Hope to see ya there!

Don’t forget the nets: We need ya!
