[PVRCNC] WPX CW, Ergo chair

Mon Jun 1 08:59:45 EDT 2020

AA4NC SOLP 20M
105 x 96= 22K / 2 hours
Beach was too nice for much operating :)
I second Mike's recommendation of the Herman Miller Aeron chair. I have had one for years in Apex and it is a back saver. I bought several used for $500 each from my employer when they had some surplus. The others went to PVRCNC members as I recall.
Are any of the Miller clone chairs any good? I see a lot of them for $100-200. I need a better chair at Topsail, but don't want to spend the money for another Aeron.
