The
Rocky mountain section continues to have only a few
hams so no Rocky Mountain net has taken place. I had
plans to attend the glacier Ham Fest in northern
Montana, but due to a two week illness, I was unable
to make it. I
had hoped to represent the ARMS group there with a
display. In the last BEAM edition I asked if there
was any interest in an ARMS net in the evening on 75
or 40 meters. So far there has been only a few
interested. I still hope to see this idea take off
and use this net to connect with the Rocky Mountain
group and to include others as well. I think Mike
K7PTL is having some success with checking into the
NW Net, but I am a little light from my location.
Perhaps with the longer nights this condition will
improve. I still like the old tube radios, but am
getting a little burned out with repairs so I may
sell off a few. I am hoping to work the 160 meter
band in the future as I have acquired an amplifier
that covers that band.
My antenna is marginal so an amp helps. I
would to take a class in MS Publisher this spring.
God�s
best to all on the ARMS Net
