[K6BW] Activity at the clubhouse this weekend

[Bill Smith]

Hi Devin,

Great to hear from you!  Yes, will be very happy to make the e-mail change.
Happy Birthday!  I thought I saw a new antenna on top of your house.  As you
know, a friend lives just up the street and I frequently drive by your
house.

We found your watch on Field Day.  I have it in the desk at the Hamilton
Clubhouse.  I hope you can attend one of our meetings (the clubhouse is open
every Tuesday evening at 7:00pm, regular monthly meetings are held every
third Tuesday of the month).

With contacts to the Marshall Islands you'll be one of our top operators.
Congratulations!  That reminds me of when I was a Novice and I worked Wake
Island.  No one would believe me until the QSL card came and I was able to
show it to everyone.

Look forward to seeing you and your Dad at our meetings.

73 de Bill, AB6MT

> Hello Bill,this is Devin KI6JGH and I am very sorry I have missed a couple
meetings I'm in Rhode Island and will be returning in 2 days.I was wondering
if you could change the email you send the club email from what it is now to
ki6jgh at gmail.com In other news for my birthday I got a hustler 5btv trap
vertical and despite trap verticals bad rap I put 6 radials on 20 meters
mounted it at 45 feet and worked V73RY in the marshall islands.
