[bars] BARS April Newsletter

[Thomas Walsh]

Steve,

Great to hear from you.  How far are you from our other long time BARS transplant in North Carolina, Bert N4CW?  Do you guys ever see each other?  I hear N4CW on cw a lot.  We could form a NC Chapter of BARS with the two fo you!

Best 73,

Tom K1TW

They're rare but exist here!) and have my roof tower back up (which includes my Cushcraft A50-5 that I bought 36 years ago at the Framingham fest for $15!) and my re-commissioned HF2V that I bought from a BARS member whom I can no longer remember but who lived on Middlesex Turnpike.).  I've got a lot of Drake stuff now but also a K3 with P3 and a 600W amp, when needed.  I still have some of my old test equipment.

Our editor, Marla, did a great job putting the newsletter together. You can find it at bit.ly/BARSApril20Newsletter <http://bit.ly/BARSApril20Newsletter>.
