Hello, Ed! de WV4AM

I just wanted to drop by and ask if you could put something in the newsletter for me.

I’m currently 3D printing custom callsign plaques for $10. 

Could you put that in the newsletter? I would want something simple like:

“Jake is currently selling custom multi-colored callsign plaques for $10 each. If you’re interested, email him at [email protected].”

That’d be great if you could do that for me.

Thank you!
-Jake,WV4AM
