[DARARepeater] Thursday Night Group

[Ed Fix]

Mary Hutcheson brought a lot of gear that belonged to her husband Tom,
WB8KUH (SK) to lunch today.  I have a lot of it that I will bring to
the TNG tomorrow.  Anything that doesn't get adopted will probably go
to landfill.  And we all hate that, right?
