[PPRAANet] Ham transferring from NCARC to PPRAA territory

Wed May 4 16:28:30 EDT 2011

Thanks for the warm welcome. Yes, I was licensed this past October with my Tech. Been working on getting the General since then but it hasn't been easy. If there are any test preps and upcoming test sessions, could you also let me know.
That's a tad too early for me on Sat mornings. But I plan on trying to make the Wed eve meeting.
Thanks,
Monika

Hi Monika! I saw that Dick W0RAA already replied, but I wanted to add my welcome as well!  It looks like from your call sign that you are newly licensed - that's great!

Hope to see you at the next meeting. We also meet informally the first Saturday of the month, so that means we're meeting this Saturday. This month's location is the Orange Plate Cafe, 1825 Peterson Road. Time is from 8:00-9:30 AM

Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Pam Scott, W0PRS
PPRAA Treasurer

I am currently staying with my mom and grandma. I was wondering when and where your next meeting will be as I would love to come. I can be reached personally at monika_r_r at hotmail.com. Hope to hear, and meet, some of you soon.
