I can't find the adapter for the antenna on amazon tho. Do I need it and if so, where can I get one?

There certainly was a diverse group there that night. I would seriously anticipate that some will not come back, just not their cup of tea, per se. But, there might be a few others show up that would rather drink tea than koolaid. Time will tell. Thank you for your comment.<br /><br />Frank<br />Frank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-82016622708571624382015-07-04T08:05:04.923-05:002015-07-04T08:05:04.923-05:00Thank you, Kathy.

Come this Tuesday night, we'll see if the numbers are bigger or smaller.

It is different isn't it? I taught adult classes in the insurance industry and it is amazing how they prove the old adage that 'education is wasted on the young'! It has to be very gratifying to know you are teaching something so potentially important to peoples survival!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209722078916803400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-69855058722487124272015-07-02T16:56:53.558-05:002015-07-02T16:56:53.558-05:00Chipmunk, I'd recommend that you make contact ...Chipmunk, I'd recommend that you make contact with the club. But remember, all groups of people have diverse personalities embedded. If the first couple you meet are to your liking, great. If by chance your first contact is a little bit sour, just keep on shaking hands and you'll probably meet someone to your liking. Now is the time. Four miles? My local radio club is 25 miles, and the local ARRL club is 60 miles. Geez, four miles. Hope you have a good time.<br /><br />Frank<br />Frank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-32758704429512514262015-07-02T16:52:13.711-05:002015-07-02T16:52:13.711-05:00Hi, Sandy.
