BIRTHDAY GREETINGS… John KJ7AGQ turned 19 on Tuesday. YACHT wishes you a Happy Birthday.
** ALL-STAR ADDED… Daniel N9MUF, the host of our YACHT echolink node has just added an all-star connection, which he plans to make permanent in addition to echolink. The All-Star node is 65757 and call is N9MUF-L. If that doesn’t work, try [email protected]
He tried it during the Monday chat and the audio was excellent. So you all have several choices to access YACHT, echolink #954283, all-star 65757 or [email protected], and Meganets. Thank you Daniel for your diligence in keeping us going to the world. We should all be appreciative of you and your maintainance of the YACHT system.
