Messages Received.
From (retiring) Communicator Editor Don
G0JWE.
Hi Bill,
As you heard on the net I have sent a copy
of the Communicator to Diane and Bill. It should be on the web fairly
soon.
Perhaps you would be kind enough to mention
this for everyone in next week's Net report.
I am printing out copies for the UK members
along with Brian's Christmas Newsletter and Booking Form.
We are away from 2nd - 16th December on the
Black Watch (G2CJL's line, I think) and Brian would like them out before
we go away.
I would have liked to speak to Diane but
once again - no one would leave a break!! (She did call him ! )
Next weekend is our newest granddaughter's
christening so I don't know what our movements will be.
Cheers for now, 73 Don. G0JWE.
