A New weekly net
Hi Fellow VARC Members & friends,
I would like to invite you to join me on this Sunday, March 21st, at 6:30 pm on the 145.190 W5DSC repeater for a controlled net, Sunday Musings. This Sunday I would like to discuss vegetable gardening. Each Sunday could have a different topic for discussion, I am open for ideas. Hope to hear you on the air.
