Hi all - I'm good...Savannah well inside circle. Hope to have a couple of
new SECC members from Savannah. One of our folks, KK4TXZ, posted top US
Rookie LP overlay on 3830 for CQWW with 447,000 points using wire antenna
(will
be W4 record if holds up). He was at Rick's with us during GA QSO party.
Also have a couple more folks to encourage joining the club. Looking
forward to SS.
Best - Jere, KT4ZB
