Tonight's HCRA meeting is on lightning. The speaker is making the trip from
south of Boston. We hope that you will come out to see everyone and enjoy
what should be a fascinating meeting.

Hope to see you tonight!

Don't forget that the BIG raffle tickets are on sale for $10 each and the
drawing will be next month! This is a small price to pay for a chance to
win the NEW Yaesu FT-891 mobile HF rig and matching screwdriver ATAS
antenna that covers 40-6 meters and is worth $1000.

Your opportunity to buy tickets is shrinking! Buy them tonight!

See you tonight,

Larry, W1AST

I bought a custom made galvanized steel bracket for my US tower from KF7P so I could mount a Harbor Freight hoist and motorize my crankup tower.? His work was top notch and his price was very reasonable. He's a very nice guy.. I've also bought other products from him.

I just bought 10 Fair Rite 2.4 inch Mix 31 Torroids from ProAudio Engineering and their prices are about $1 per torroid less than KF7P's price when ordering a lot of 10. The comparison is not apples and apples, however.? I ordered only torroids whereas KF7P is selling beads, a length of RG-142 coax and two PL-259s.

It looks like we will have to wait a bit longer for 3Y0, unfortunately.

Any chance there is someone available with a bow & arrow, sling shot or
??(perhaps a bucket truck) that can hang a few ropes up 40' in backyard
trees?
Info would be most appreciated.
Located in South Hadley.
