[WVARC] Fw: A few things

[Joseph M. Wade]

When I first saw the e-mail from Tree regarding the news on the promotional 
video, the first thing that came to mind was John saying a few years back that 
he might just have to have a dvd player installed in his casket to watch 
it.  That makes me laugh whenever I think about it.

My youngest son got his general license in March of 2009 and said he wanted my 
old callsign.  So he is the new WB6YNI.  Barring any problems he and I should be 
on phone ss with that call sign.  I will operate cw ss with my call.  I will 
just be using a verticle, but hoping the signal on 40 and 80 gets out.

After more than 7 years of kidney problems, I had a transplant in January 2009 
and am pretty much normal again.  That took a huge toll on my ham activities as 
has work.  But I plan to be more active in this current sunspot cycle even 
though it doesn't look to be a really good one.  I am still using my FT-990 and 
have a Henry 2K amp.  The city of Yorba has given me grief over putting up my 
tower, so I will have to put my 2 ele quad up an alternate way.  I have both GAP 
and Butternut verticals.

Great to see you all active.

73,

Joe - W6YR

Matt and Tree,
 
Nice to hear some "chatter" on the reflector.  
 
I worked CQP last weekend.  It was my first time, at least working it 
seriously.  Came up shy of my goal of 1,000 QSOs.  That was due to only working 
20 hours out of 24.  Low power, single op.
 
I managed to work N6TV a couple of times.  Didn't hear many of the other guys, 
though.  I was the pipsqueak signal in between K6NA and W6YI, both from this 
general area.
 
Matt, looking forward to whatever nuggets those old rags can produce!
 
73,
 
John
N6EP, ex-WB6UHF
