Amateur Radio Still Fun After 26 Years
Delaware Amateur Radio Association
Listening on 10 meters awhile back I heard K8MP call CQ so I quickly responded to say hello. K8MP was a call I recognized from some of the contest I have been in and he had a loud signal on 10 meters. He introduced himself as Joe and then I recalled chatting with him before on 10 meters and found out he was just a few miles from me up the road.
Joe asked me if I belonged to any local ham club and invited me to Delaware Amateur Radio club next meeting since it too was right up the road from me. I took Joe up on the invite and made it to the first meeting this month and turned in my membership application to join the group.
SinceI joined I have pulled out the old ringo 2 meter vertical and put it out on the chimney to access 145.17 repeater. I haven’ t been on 2 me
ters in years but got the vx-5 Yaesu HT hooked up and monitoring now.
Look forward in meeting more of the members in upcoming meetings and events.
