Next NCCC Meeting

Guests are always welcome at the NCCC! Please join us.

Contesting in the Good Ol' Days
Jack Leddy, N6EM, and Jack Troster, W6ISQ

A couple old-timers known as the Check 35 guys, namely Jack Troster, W6ISQ, and Jack Leddy, N6EM (ex-W6PLJ), who were first ticketed in 1935, are planning a historical (possibly hysterical) presentation of contesting in the "good old days" when all we could do in a contest was paper logging and there was no such thing as semiconductors or coaxial cable and DX was something like "I heard you just worked the Coast".

Dinner: Fajita Buffet

$20 per person (tip and tax included).  Please RSVP to W0YK  by Sunday, 12 February.  PayPal preferred or pay at the door for those having dinner.
