[SOC] 2nd or 3rd class

Mon Jul 24 13:21:10 EDT 2017

John
Sorry - you didn't make the grade to Second Class Operator.  But wait,
there is still hope.

But really, did you apply?  I am not part of the administration of the
club.  I just applied and they gave me a number.
I think that you might just apply to the club to become a member.
Or do you subscribe to the notion that "Any club that would have me as a
member, ...."

Cheers and a very 73
Joe
