[LeArc] Ham Radios

Thu, 27 Feb 2003 22:03:43 -0600

Thanks Jerry.
I agree with you 100 percent.  I'm sure that if the occasion arises, we have
enough hams that would be willing to help,  As AG9Y once said, we are called
the Lamoine EMERGENCY Amateur Radio Club.  If we can't or don't want to
help, we should take the EMERGENCY out of our club name.
