If this is your first time hearing about EAST COAST HAM RADIO OPERATORS
(ECHO), a little history.  About 10 weeks ago a group of Virginia, Maryland
and West Virginia Amatuer Radio Operators got together at a ZOOM meeting on
a Friday evening just having a ragchew.  We all talked about not being able
to have our club meetings and spending time as a group and enjoying a
program.  Foolishly, I said maybe we could use Zoom to have a program that
a larger group could enjoy safely and chat before and after a program just
like at a club meeting.  Our first presentation  was with Martin F. Jue,
K5FLU, founder and owner of MFJ Enterprises, Inc.  Actually, not as much as
a presentation but a personal visit in his den for about 90 minutes.  We
asked if it would be OK for us to record the presentation and post on
YouTube for others to enjoy.  Here's the link :

Get yourself a beverage, get comfortable in your chair and spend a great
time with Martin.
We were also lucky enough again with Ed Gibbs, KW4GF being able to speak
with Bob Heil, K9EID about a program.  Here's the link:
