Those initial and forward newsletters on line were due to the extensive work of N5AFV, Al Mattis, a recent SK, Eddie NU5K and me, W5RH. Those news letters are full of club historic and relevant technical information.
Please realize that the growing trials and tribulations that newer hams are currently going thru are the same troubles as when the older and some deceased club members first started out. The monthly news letters and a few weekly nets were the main com links for spreading information. Have a read of a few to get the club gist. 73. Rick.
