[SADXA] Minutes from August 2022 meeting

[n7wbjohn]

thanks for trying Dennis. I was late myself and had not used Zoom before
and at about 7:15 - Tucson time Hi Hi, I did not get in to the meeting.

need to find a place to practice I guess - it downloaded an app Mic and
camera seemed to work - but never got to enter code - I figured maybe
closed after start to avoid interruptions...

just a bit more fubar to add to things

again, appreciate your efforts on behalf of the club

best 73,  John N7WB,  DM51 Bisbee Junction  AZ
