| From Tom “Sparky” Orzetti WB3IGM:
It is with much sadness I am writing this. I received a call at 2:15 today that Ed Zettle W3LQA passed. He had a massive heart attack. He was at the Kane Hospital in Intensive Care. He passed shortly after being visited by two friends. He will be missed. Sparky |

After the callup, we’ll take mobile check-ins, followed by weaker and distant stations. Then the big boys can play. Once we have our list, we’ll start things going round the list and keep going until everybody falls asleep or the electric company pulls the plug! Let’s all give this a try and see how it goes! Club membership isn’t required — everyone who can key the repeater is welcome! (Although why not join the club? It’s cheap!) UPDATE! First Session a Success! We had 8 checkins for our first session which lasted the better part of an hour. The topic was, “How’s DX?” and we had a nice roundtable.
