It was great seeing so many AM'ers at the Fort Wayne Hamfest! This is becoming a real gathering place for the AM crowd. I really enjoyed visiting with several of the Midwest Classic Radio Net and DX-60 Net participants and the guys that we regularly talk to on 75 and 160. Lots of great boatanchor gear showed up as well. A 75A2 followed me home. Now all I have to do is get it working.
Thanks everyone for your support of the hamfest! 73, Jack, W9GT From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Nov 21 09:13:35 2005 Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Original-To: [email protected] Delivered-To: [email protected] Received: from lentil.epix.net (lentil.epix.net [199.224.64.67]) by mailman.qth.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5EFAF859C16; Mon, 21 Nov 2005 09:13:29 -0500 (EST) Received: from tom1 (UNUSED-64-111-137-225.UNUSED.EPIX.NET [64.111.137.225]) by lentil.epix.net (8.12.10/2005102001/PL) with SMTP id jALE6NcX023341; Mon, 21 Nov 2005 09:06:26 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of AM Radio" <[email protected]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Ham Radio in a Boatanchor Movie - "Grand Jury Secrets."
