Other than this coming Monday, my schedule is pretty Open for the rest of the month
KAØDQP,
I think that is a great idea. We have not met in a year. We were meeting every once in a while at the Wagon Wheel but the last time we did that was sometime last fall. I will send out an email asking for preference on a day of the week etc and days that won’t work and we can go from there.
BTW Mike, I have you and ACØI to thank for the fun I have been having on HF SSB. ACØI sent me a text message that you had made some contacts on the 3905 Century Club net and I didn’t know what that is so I checked in once, which by the way was a learning experience and logging nightmare, but I have checked in multiple times since on 40m.
FYI for everyone, I didn’t know it when I started using a logbook on QRZ but QRZ logs are public. Users cannot make the log private but they can control what fields are displayed.
