[WVARC] Hello world

[Tree]

BTW - not sure if it was reported here - but Charlene, WB6FFE, is a silent
key.

I literally "bumped into" her during a visit to CSUN back about 4 or 5
years ago.  I was there with my father who was thinking of leaving some $$$
from his estate to the college.  I got a tour of the Engineering building
(since I hadn't been there in over 45 years) and was waiting at an elevator
to go upstairs and when the door opened, there was Charlene!!  I had
visited her and WA6BOB a couple of times prior to that at their Chatsworth
home.  John was an SK before Charlene was.
