BREAKFAST Each Saturday morning, a group of area HAMS meet at Dotties' Country Kitchen on North Main Street in Enterprise, for breakfast and fellowship. Come by and have some good food, or just coffee, and a good time. We start meeting about 7AM. See you there. Is that too early for you? Then how about Ann's in Ozark around 8 AM? There is a good sized group that meets there too. Maybe see you there too. Jerry N4RYC --------------------------------------- Electronic Edition New e-mail address for Jo: n5tkt@entercomp.com I am still making new Coffee County ARES cards which will expire in the year 2004. If you can e-mail me a digital photo of yourself, I'll print it on the card and return the whole thing to you. If you don't have one, but you can attend the February meeting, I will take a photo of you then. If you're not a member of ARES, just drop me a note and I'll take care of it. You don't need to be a member of ARRL, or even EARS, just have a willingness to help if needed. Not much else to report this month. Slow news day. I'm sure that shortly after I send this, I'll remember something else I was going to put in it. But, then it'll be too late. Rick The truth is out there.
