I stitched a great Ham chart for DH and myself. My old copy is on the
cross-stitch auction. I got it from Nyssa at Rivers Edge. It is named Calling CQ. You might like to look at it on her site. I became a Ham because we lived fulltime in our RV, and it was a great way for communication when I was in a strange town, and he was back in the Motorhome. Now I have been Treasurer of our local club for three years; the male treasurers for two years before me had never balanced the checkbook against the bank account. They were four hundred dollars short!!!! Needless to say, I insisted on some sort of an audit before I took over the books. The old timers have really been most unhappy on my insisting on receipts......but we now have a balanced budget and 2400 dollars for our Repeater Development Fund. Not too shabby!! I quit at this election; both as Treasurer and membership Chairman! Give your husband a 73 from me. Gillian KC5TEN, and DH is KC5QWG. It ticks the Floridians off that we have a Texas call.

We are having a working session this Saturday for shelter coverage. I have only had to call bad weather in once, but have also reported rainfall when a net has been set up. I know have my own weather station, wireless, and have the software to show the readings on my computer. It was interesting to note the largest gust 24 mpph,. and rainfall at a rate of 8 inches per hour, when ne of our quick and dirty afternoon storms come through. It didn't last more than 10 mins, but we landed up with 1/2 inch of rain. Gillian Nope. Just a spotter. My hubby got me into it after he became a ham (KC0FXY), but I utterly refuse to get involved with the radio side. The minute I do he's going to be filling my work area and vehicle with radios and antennas and other sundry equipment! My real reason for becoming a spotter was that I was terrified of strong storms (having been through a couple tornados when I was a kid). I figured that if I took the class I'd know when the weather was bad and when it was REALLY BAD! Since then (4 years ago) we've made a couple storm chasing runs, gotten some neat pictures, (http://www.geocities.com/maxwell_che...1clouds2sm.jpg) but not made any significant calls. The hubby accuses me of being more into the weather now than most paid weather people. (I can usually predict if a day is going to turn stormy or not from a look at the sky, radar and K-index at 5:30 AM) The hubby, bless his soul, keeps trying to get me to become a ham. I let him do it, it gives him another hobby --- Holly K. WIPS: Noah's Ark Sampler - Teresa Wentzler / Bald Eagle - Sherrie Stepp-Aweau / Primitive Santa - ?? www.tortpro.net |
