[SOC] Elmering

[Ian C. Purdie]

I have been contacted by a fellow from:

> the town of Wells, New York, up in the Adirondack Mountains

He goes on to say:

> I only got into radio about a month and a half ago. I found a
> Kenwood 530 on [You know where] and bought it. I've been hooked since. I
> already have a beautiful 830 and a Yaesu FT-101. The 830 is perfect

> problems that I would like to work on and the Yaesu also has

Any folks from that area? Any suggestions of clubs near that area?


Thanks! :)
