thereon.

CONGRATULATIONS TO

Our newest
Tech with license in hand is Robert Forster of Carbondale. He is being congratulated by our
VE team: Bob - K9MWM, Lyle - K0IV and Larry K0CL. Robert will have his
call sign in about 10 days. Come and take a test for a new or upgraded license
at our next meeting!
GOT MANUALS? We like to
keep Technician, General or Extra Class license manuals in circulation.
Bob
(k9mwm) constantly gets requests for them and it is nice to hand
one out
rather than have someone wait or procrastinate in ordering one. Please
donate
recent manuals to Bob (k9mwm).
