Tom,
KC8QGJ, above, claims to be retired, but we think he was
just too ugly for his job, so they released him
into the wild where he could spend more time with his Ham radio
friends!
A note from your webmister, N4UJW. Since it is impossible for me to be with the 1721 GROUP each
night.... Please keep me informed via email about
any frequency changes, news worthy items of interest or updates on
this page for the Group. I
will do my best to get them posted here!

"I have to
tell you, this is probably the best web site I have ever had the
pleasure of visiting, keep up the good work, and we need to press
hard for old TOM, Hi Hi, to keep fishing because I will be at the
fest this year, and since I'm on the road, driving a truck all over
this good old USA, it
sure is good to hear the band and my ham
family back. It was a long and lonley winter without the 1721
group.. 73's Dave Roberts" (kc9cdr)
Here is the latest from an Ole timer who is no longer
with us. He certainly knows his stuff! "You see, wire
telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail
in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you
understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you
send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference
is that there is no cat." Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio US (German-born) physicist
(1879 - 1955)
