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. Due to very heavy workload on
Hamuniverse.com I will no longer be able to update this page. It has
been my pleasure to be associated with the 1721 Group members. I
will be thinking about all of you! Don,
N4UJW

"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"

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)
