We hold that it’s each member’s duty to
support and promote their organization any way they can,
over and above paying dues and attending meetings.
Accordingly, we’re delighted to have the opportunity to
serve as Co-editors of The Groundwire.
I (Bob) was first licensed as a Novice
(WD5FYB) in 1972 and went on to earn my Extra class license
(AG5X) in 1978. Elaine just passed her Technician test in
August (she’s now KF5CNN) and plans to take the upgrade test
to General in January. Rag chewing with DX stations is my
favorite ham activity. Elaine’s still getting her feet wet
with two meter activity, but she’s quite the talker so her
call’s suffix fits her to a “T” as more and more fellow
amateurs are discovering.
Our station is a simple one – a 20+ year
old HF rig, an even older two meter base station and a dual
band VHF hand-held. Our antenna farm is equally simple
comprising a ground-mounted vertical and a G5RV about 30’ up
in the pine trees. We’re both looking forward to the next
sun spot cycle peak. If you hear us on the bands, by all
means give us a call. 73 to all, Bob & Elaine
