Memorial Day 2017 Surprise Net
Rather than a “goofy” net, I’d just like to focus on the purpose of Memorial Day. I’ll talk a little about the history of the day, and perhaps about one or two of our National Cemeteries. I hope that you can contribute, too. Is there a sailor, soldier, or flyer that you or your family remembers? Are there any stories you like to tell, or customs that you follow?
Please join us on Monday, May 29th, 2017, at 7:00 PM on the 146.88 repeater.

Unfortunately, there’s a new piece of ransomware rapidly spreading on the internet. Bill, N5BB, has advised me that Microsoft has even taken the extraordinary step of releasing patches for no-longer-supported operating systems like Windows XP! It looks like the attacks may have stopped for now…temporarily. Make backups! Keep your systems up to date!
Please remember that HamCom and Field Day are coming up soon. Have you volunteered to help the club? We always need a little bit of help to staff our table at HamCom and loads of help to make Field Day a success.
