[WVARC] Fw: A few things

[John Musselman N6EP]

Joe,

Super to see you had the transplant.  And also that your son is on the air, and with your old call!  That's the best news I can imagine coming out of Yorba Linda.

I wonder what you mean, though, about being back to normal?  I don't recall you ever being normal.

John

  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,

  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,

    I recently opened up a box in my garage and discovered pristine copies of most of the early WVARC Random Wire newsletters.  I would like to scan them some day and post them here.

      I was looking back at the previous threads on this reflector.  We seem to
      get mostly one message a month from someone not in the club offering to
      help us get our web page higher up in the search engines.

      Hard to believe this list has been active now for EIGHT YEARS!!  Time flies
      when you get old.

      1. When this reflector started - the activity was 60 db over S9.  A few
      people dropped off because it was too much.

      2. I noticed that we had a few messages abot KI6T - W6NJU - Gary Stillwell.
      Probably some of you don't know he became a silent key earlier this year.

      3. Victory through Mug!!
