[TCARA] Duccette Tower.

[Nick Toparcean]

Thanks for the update. All good news! I am sure they will resolve the tower
issue soon. We have additional resources available to us that I will share
with our members at our next meeting.  I spoke to Jefferson County Club.
They will be mentioning the TCARA in thier upcoming newsletter. Rocky
Wilson, President of the Orange Amateur Radio Club was also at the meeting.
I spoke with Rocky as well to get the word out about TCARA to our fellow
ham's in Orange.

We need to keep pressing on.......

Until then,

73

Nick, AE5VV
