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. If that is too early, how about Ann's on 231 South in Ozark at about 8AM. Big group meets there also. Jerry N4RYC REPEATER NEWS There is a good chance that our voice repeater (147.240+) will be off the air for a while following the January meeting. We have been unable to locate the intermittent problem with the autopatch and will probably be sending it back to the manufacturer to let them have a shot at it, along with a general tune-up. de N4JAG FOR SALE Cushcraft A3WS yagi A3WS...12-17 mtr dual band 3 element beam.
