Jim, Good news. Please give my congratulations to Shirley. It sure is good to add another, Midwest-origin ham to the roster. 73, Jim Weaver, K8JE Director, Great Lakes Division ARRL; http://www.arrl.org/ 5065 Bethany Rd., Mason, OH 45040 Tel.: 513-459-0142; E-mail: k8je@arrl.org ARRL: The reason Amateur Radio Is!

Jim asked me to share this good news with the Board family... I'm happy to announce that there is a new ham in the Fenstermaker house. My XYL, Shirley, received her tech license yesterday. She is KE7CBH. About 30 years ago, she was licensed as WN9RJW but that license lasped as we were without a station from which to operate from our apartment. She is looking forward to upgrading so she can also work DX! I already ordered many feet of new tower (but I might be living on one of them soon!). 73 Jim K9JF
