[ML-General] HAM Meeting and upcoming events

Tue Mar 10 15:52:44 CDT 2015

Tell you what,

Let's set up a group project where everyone builds a J-pole antenna.
They're relatively easy, and cheap to make with copper pipe.

" 'With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the
first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all
irrevocably.' Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie as wisdom and
warning... The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we’re all
damaged." - Jean-Luc Picard, quoting Judge Aaron Satie, Star Trek: TNG
episode "The Drumhead"
