Thanks for the compliment on the Field Day photos. The guy in the Canada shirt is a good friend of mine named Eric – N0UIH. He makes fairly regulkar trips to see a friend of his in Erie, PA and they occasionally take a trip from there to Niagar Falls since it’s just a couple hours away. That’s probably where he got the Canada shirt.

6 and 10 have been some of my favorite bands, since I passed my general i love working 10-17. In fact the only other hf band i have worked has been 75m.12 has been opening up recently too.I too want some warm weather again. I dont get on echolink much. I was going to give you the node numbers of the 2 repeater i use but they have problems keeping the link and the nodes were off again tonight.they are the wb8ucd and w8ebg repeaters..
Im glad you and your family enjoyed your trip trough Ohio maybe we will hear you come through again.

Mark – our club helps out with quite few activities throughout the year. We help with about 4 bike rides and three Make A Wish activities each year. It’s funny when I tell other people about our community service because they didn’t realize we did more than sit in our basement trying to reach that weak signal from Asia. Weather wasn’t much of an issue since it was an indoor event. Even though it was about 50 degrees and sunny yesterday! 73, Don – KDØJBN
