We received a letter from a person that has a table top radio for sale (AM, SW radio) from MI. It was brought up we should have some type of introduction to Ham Radio handout for interested people. Brett-K9BY, we should consider doing amateur radio presentations at local schools or organizations. Greg-K9GJN we are in the process of applying for a club station call thru W5YI services and we should consider what call sign for the club.
