Our ASM, Al Hart, W6UBM, informs me that he can accept old Radio Equipment for repair and donation. Al lives in the San Fernando Valley and can be reached at the numbers listed in QRZ.com or as listed on our web site. Al has an old buddy K6UU, John, who can repair and distribute this old equipment to Schools and needy kids for educational purposes.

We have some very sharp characters on 40 meters (SSB) one of them said that his wife was an angel and the other guy came back with well, you are lucky, mine is still alive. One other conversation was about stolen credit cards. The ring leader, said, my wife's credit card was stolen, but I decided not to report it, the thief was charging far less than my wife. Then the discussion changed to automobiles whereupon one man's wife told her husband that the carburetor was full of water. He said how do you know that there is water in the carburetor? She said, I know, because it is in the river.

I met W6IST, Allan, several times at the Northridge Hospital, recently. He told me that the Hospital was helping the San Fernando Club set up an Emergency Radio Station in the Hospital.

The last meeting of Los Angeles Area Council of Amateur Radio Clubs had their last meeting at the Los Angeles Maritime Museum at San Pedro, K6AA. The next meeting is scheduled to be held in Burbank. The LAACARC is going to evaluate a new location for an ARRL Convention.
