[HBQRP] HBQRP meeting ideas and group project ideas for 2014

[Steve Sellmeyer]

Yes, a great group it was and as always a fun time too. It was nice to have 
a group of ideas brought up so we can see what's coming up for meetings in 
the new year. Already we have a new ham who is interested in building a 
crystal radio and will try make next months meeting. Looks like I will be 
eating LOTS of oatmeal for the remainder of the month !

We try get the word out around here about the monthly gathering via the 
local clubs newsletter and on the 2 meter nets.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year..............Steve/WB0QQT
