[nrv-hams] Saturday Morning Breakfast and Toroid-Winding Party

[Robert McGwier]

Congratulations to all.

Sharon and I hate we missed it but we needed to aid a fellow ham who has
been ill.  We were as successful as you folks were I think.  Lots of good
friends came and helped us help our friend.  I love ham radio!
