Small turnout today, but more importantly, joining us were Mary, Cork, and Gary! And our regular crowd, Roger. Not that he’s a crowd… Mary regaled us with stories of the Camino. General good humor all around. Next cawfee is the first Monday WEDNESDAY of the month of November. CORRECTION: First WEDNESDAY of the month! Here…
After returning from the Big Biscuit this morning, I rolled up my sleeves. More on that in a minute… I sat next to Harry at the far end of the table. Among other things, we talked about how he has hooked up his antennas, in particular for FT8 operation. Lynn, Brad, and John FUZ chimed…
A good turnout for breakfast this morning with Mary, John, John, Brad, Roger, and Lynn. We sat in the back corner like we’ve done before – where our waitress had a hard time finding us. As we were getting ready to leave, no consensus was formed on where we’d sit the next time. I guess…
A beautiful morning at Gusto’s for coffee today! Even though I was on the way home before I figured out it wasn’t Saturday. Mary and I joined Lynn, Roger, and Harry on the deck completely mask-free for the entire visit. Most of the visitors were maskless as was the entire staff. We even had a…
We met around 7:30 AM at the Big Biscuit again this past Saturday with a pretty good turnout including Lynn, John, Brad, Roger, and myself. I hope I didn’t forget anyone. Mary couldn’t make it; family graduation in Joplin. We voted to meet again next week beginning at 0730 to avoid the 8AM rush.
At the last moment, we changed venues to Panera’s for a pretty good turnout including Harry, Brad, Lynn, Roger, Mary, John, and Cork! We pretty much had a full table but could have squeezed in a few more! Next meeting is still scheduled for an 8 AM Central Zoom session. That could change if enough…
A small group checked into the net this rainy day morning including Mary, Gary, and Roger. Under old business, we discussed Roger’s ongoing lawn project, now having set the blade a notch or two lower to prepare for the five days of rain we expect to have this week. Apparently, the state of Missouri is…
I began the discussion with my Xtal radio show’n’tell, which prompted Roger to retrieve his out of mothballs. Pretty much everyone had a story to tell about their early experiences with one of these. John built one of these using a razor blade, the foxhole radio, back when he was about ten; no DX but…
Today’s Zoom Net kicked off at 0755 with Scott being the first to arrive, closely followed by Roger, Gary, Mary, and Lynn. It was good to have Scott back with his show’n’tells as he started off with questions on his broken-down power supply. Those are some big heat sinks! That brought up the question of…
