These would be separate from club meetings, and get publicity in local newspapers, radio, web, mail, or whatever works. We’ll need a minimum of 3 VE’s at each testing session, perhaps with a fourth person as an alternate. We can work out the details once we’ve got a confirmed list of VE’s.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks es 73,<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Roger N5RWK<o:p></o:p></p></div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>w5sfa mailing list</span><br><span>w5sfa@w5sfa.org</span><br><span>http://mail.w5sfa.org/mailman/listinfo/w5sfa_w5sfa.org</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
