[Willem van Dam]

Hi All,

ARRL has released the November SS Phone results and K4FAU came in 6th
overall as School club and we have won the Southeastern Division again!

Special thanks and congrats go out to Sarah KJ4IDS, Will? KE5YHN and Justin
P KJ4IDT who under supervision of our president Justin KI4WFJ made most of
the contacts and decided to go for the test a week later and passed!

Today (5/11/09) at 2:01 EDT is also the launch of space shuttle Atlantis for
STS-125. I will connect our repeater to the launch audio. I forgot my radio
but it should work. If the repeater gets disconnected please send 9877 to
the repeater to reconnect to the audio.

Sjaak, W4RIS
