Our heartfelt condolences to, and prayers for Dave and family. I do not have details, but it is my understanding that this Tuesday there will be a visitation here in Richmond.

Embarqmail has decided they no longer will accept email sent from the Microsoft Outlook program so I'll have to use our reflector email from now on. I have 4 other people that use embarqmail that I have the same issue with. I've reported it to Microsoft but so far they don't seem to care. Comcast says it's Microsoft's problem. CenturyLink (embarq) won't deal with me because I'm not one of their customers. I have same problem with Wildblue.net.

I have used Rob?s services and have always been very satisfied with his professional work. I worked with Rob when he was the lead electronics technician for a federal contractor designing, developing and producing highly sophisticated equipment for various government agencies. Rob?s in-depth knowledge of amateur radio electronics and his meticulous attention to detail will ensure the proper repair and extended life of you precious radio equipment. You can reach Rob Smith W4MAU at kg4ggx at aol.com Thank you and 73 Tony Day KC4AUF On Mon, 26 Feb 2018 10:51:38 -0500, w4pm via CVCC wrote: The ARRL DX SSB is this coming weekend.
