Just got your Tech license? Or you've moved up to General. But, don't
know the in's and out's of HF operations?. Then come on over to the Ten
Meters every Tuesday night at 8 p.m. on 28.325 SSB. I'm sure
the Hams would be more then happy to answer any of your questions. And even give
you some free pointers on working DX as the Solar Cycle gears up. New General
licensee? Try out that new rig on the open highways of HF. Talk local, learn
International! because Ten Meters will be a super band the coming years. It
meets every Tuesday -except not- the 2nd Tuesday when we have RARC club
meetings. Net controls are rotated each week.
