[RVRC] Win System Tech net

[E. Drew Moore]

Hi Pete,

We use to run the W2QW Tech net on Friday nights when Eric was around. 
He was the NCS and Marty was a regular as well as other astute members. 
It was interesting. I don't know why it was discontinued as there were 
interesting discussions.

73,
Drew
