[ADXA] 2023 Central States VHF Society Conference

[Steven Rutledge]

Hi Joel.  That is GREAT news.  BTW, I was at the 1997 conference in Hot 
Springs.  I was pretty new to weak-signal work at the time and a lot of 
the material was over my head.  I have been to a few since.  I highly 
recommend attending if you have the slightest interest in V/U.  Good way 
for ADXA members to meet a local Elmer.

It should be very interesting with the new weak-signal digital modes.  I 
have yet to look seriously at Q whatever it is or read up on it.  Wonder 
if anyone else has?

Looking forward to seeing Steve and Sandra if I don't before then.

Steve, QQ
