I'm glad that Mike KG7HQ has worked so hard to make this possible. Guess I will share what I'm doing to enjoy the hobby.What I'm into:Homebrewing: I just can't stop building. QSO's are better with homebrew! I just modified the program for the PIC controller and it is quite nice and perfect for old tube gear. Now grandpa may have tuned for you in the old days, Not the new snotty nosed OPS! You better QRG spot on.

Since we have updated this site to it's current format, I have received some wonderful feedback on it's fit, form and function. This is rapidly becoming the communication tool for local hams during the month between events like meetings, nets and functions. I have been approached a couple of times requesting information on how to how to do basic edits to change the look of the blog entries.

The Summer Picnic - To those who were able to attend

Submitted by kg7hq on Sat, 07/31/2010 - 13:56

Thank you!....Ok... Maybe might of misstated that..... So lets try that again...Thank you!

We don't have many opportunities to gather as a group in a relaxed setting so having this annual event places it into it's own pedestal.
