[K6NCG] K6NCG Digest, Vol 41, Issue 4

Mon Feb 27 20:52:36 EST 2017

Let me know when a sked is set up. Im game. I was last there and in 1974
the second to that last class to graduate. Bill from Buffalo(on to NUC
school) and I (On to SPS-29E School in SD)we were the last to close down
the Ham Club. Many good weekends when we lived in the shack. Took a large
Beekman nixie tube Frequency Counter with me to my ship but got so much
crap from the EMO I finally dumped it overboard in the Med. Hated that.

73 es Tnx
