Dear Village Seven ARC Members,

Please read the message (below) and forward it to anybody you know who
might want to take
a Technician Class or General Class amateur radio license exam.
I remember Jim W0EM from recent years via the Garden of the Gods Amateur
Radio Club.

The American Legion Post 209 is a welcoming place!
It is in the neighborhood of Candlewood Substation, by the way :-)
(Colorado Springs Utilities)
I attended a retirement party there several years ago for a (now-retired)
coworker who happens to be a ham.

Again, PLEASE send Jim's message along to other people (and MAILING LISTS)
who may be interested.

73,

 = Steve KØCI
V7ARC President
