It was good to hear everyone on the air tonight.

The topic on this Father’s Day: ” Is/was your Father a Ham, and if not, what was his favorite hobby?” The LARG meeting Saturday was in person. Hopefully, they will continue to be. 73
There were 3 participants of the digital net tonight:
We had a nice long digital chat on various topics including what was being planned for Field Day 2021. Paulson is working on a remote 2D station to contribute to FD this year. Also talked about birds and bees, neighbors, long walks, grounding rods that don’t want to go into the ground (surprise) and many other things.
The 2 meter net was attended by 9 folks tonight. Lots of new hams using their license to share some time with all fo us. Those included:
As with the digital net we covered a range of topics from learning CW for Field Day 2021 to politics. It was good to hear all the new hams on tonight. I wish we didn’t have to mess with COVID and could have a Field Day like the good ole days. Hopefully this will sort out this year and we can get back to normal.
Everyone have a great week. See you on one of the nets coming up.
