Hey Don,
Good to hear from you! Yes, I know you have been trying very hard to get
Chapter 175 back to active status. I would not worry too much about it, for
I believe it just is not meant to happen at this time. And with COVID, it
even makes it much harder to get anyone interested. I would suggest it will
take newer and younger members in the area of Chapter 175 to get this one
back to being active.

Indeed, time just marches right along! I am coming up 60 years license next
April, and 53 years married.

47 & 73,
Ken Oelke, VE6AFO
