[SFDXA] July 1 Meeting

[Kai]

Hi Bill,
We are also not a hospital group either, but that was how we met prior to the 
pandemic. Many of us are out of range of the K4FK repeater, and HF is not 
practical (except for some people, after sundown using NVIS techniques on 160 m 
or 80 m and perhaps as high as 40 m depending on foF2), but again, for several 
of us without home stations, our primary station is the currently unavailable 
K4FK station. That's why I joined the club! Also, on-air meetings lack video 
presentation capability!
*We don't have to buy or subscribe to anything to use zoom professional 
edition:* our ARRL director said in a previous mail that:

If the group would like to try Zoom on July 1, I would be happy to host the
meeting with my ARRL Zoom Account.
Let me know.
73,
Mickey Baker, N4MB
Director, Southeastern Division
ARRL


Please, let's try zoom.
With kindest regards,
Kai, KE4PT
