[K3PZN-List] Youthful Hams in VA Blue Ridge

[Curt Milton]

I found this interesting article on youthful hams down in Frank's neck of the 
woods (an area I am familiar with do to family relations down there):

http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/264867  -- wow 3 high schools with ham 
clubs!  maybe more than have survived in the entire state of MD (my school had a 
club in Ohio but that was a few years ago, when the TR-4C was a new rig).  


Also I heard a lot of traffic on the repeater associated with a later-than-I 
expected balloon flight ... so I can imagine a report on the delay (??) and I am 
curious how many trackers participated (on the repeater anyway), and of course 
conjecture on where this thing went.

Tower work is for the young fellas! put up my own in the early 90's. 50 feet 
is my limit!  but , have fun with it and be safe.
