[SFDXA] July 1 Meeting

[Bill]

Mickey,
Well, using that same thinking the Dayton Hamvention should be online as 
well as the ARRL Convention, now scheduled for Orlando.

My thinking is the spirit of the Ham Radio club is not internet based. 
I'd say less than 10% of active members cannot reach the 2 meter 
repeater so I suggested HF as the alternative.

Asking for our thoughts and ideas is what Randy asked for...and I added 
mine.
73,
Bill Marx W2CQ
