[SOC] In search of Bozo/BARF membership

[Craig Taylor]

Mark W9OP is in assisted living now. He actually helped get the B0ZOs started. Usually members are recruited in person at Dayton and other hamfests. The past couple of years I have been doing that job.

Mark’s email is W9OPmarkmichel at gmail.com. He stays in the assisted living overnight, his wife picks him up daily. I am going to see him today, I will say hello from you W1RBG.

73,
W9OD 
SOC #1079
B0ZO #857/1013

For those who believe in God, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not believe in God, no explanation is possible.
