[GCARC] AB2E/VP9 30m FT8 now

[Jim n2gxj]

Anyone can bring up any new business at next club meeting.  Next club
meeting is back at Pfiefer center on June 7.  Will you be back by then?
Not sure if is widely known, but we also use Slack.  Or should I say the
"skunkworks" group uses Slack. Feel free to talk about at club meeting.
