I have already demonstrated, by crucial tests, the practicability of signaling by my system from one to any other point of the globe, no matter how remote, and I shall soon convert the disbelievers.

**** NEW NOTICE **** (09/18/2021)
Due to the significant increase in COVID-19 Delta Variant cases in our area and the high hospitalization rate and very few ICU beds available, we are once again going to have our monthly general membership meetings "ON-THE-AIR" again.
The Third Thursday General Monthly Meetings are going to be conducted on-air only on our 145.19 or the 145.13 backup repeater until advised otherwise due to the number of new Covid-Variant cases being reported in our Crossroads area.
Next General Meeting is on October 21st, 2021.
