[K6BW] feb23 meeting

[Richard Young]

Ken,

Sounds like you might have purchased an Icom IC-910 for the 23cm band. 
That's a nice radio, hope you enjoy it. If and when you are ready, I can 
give you info about several 1.2 Ghz linked fm repeaters here in the bay 
area. Although from the sound of it, you might be interested in 23cm ssb 
simplex with the antenna you have. There is a group in northern cal that 
works 23cm ssb simplex and does a significant amount of contesting and 
experimentation. I think they may have a website than can get you in touch 
with them.

Note to Bill:

I need to get my dues to you in order to avoid last years scenario. I also 
understand that the locks have been changed at the clubhouse. Any chance of 
getting a set from you when I give you the check?

Thanks much,

Rich  w6ghz
