My agenda for Section Manager, if elected.
Below is a shot of my operating desk. In the center of the lower part is
the new Yaesu FT-2000D, the FT-101-ZD and the FC-301 tuner. Above those is
the FT-840 and the computer interfaces on the left. What is not shown is the
new FT-8800 on the top shelf.
I live in Starke County in Indiana. It is a small county with very few hams active on HF. County hunters contact me via email and we can set up a schedule, if you need Starke County.
You can email me at w3ml@w3ml.com if you
want a schedule with me or have a question. I am always available for help
when it comes to Ham Radio.
