Thank all of you for the invitation to be at last night’s meeting. It was an honor to attend. Big thanks to George for a fantastic presentation. I actually learned quite more than I’m ready to admit about satellite orbits. I am brand new to the art of amateur radio and can’t wait to soak up all that I can learn from your members. I am a veteran, former career firefighter and at your service for anything that I can provide – especially in emergency assistance. I have a 4×4 truck and I am available 24/7 to help out in emergencies. I am also a former 911 operator/rescue dispatcher for Loudoun County. Please post my phone number, 571-330-1506, and call for any emergency – including prescriptions, food, battery power and fuel delivery. I am KR4EJP, but more importantly, Tom to my friends. Please call me anytime.
I forgot to say, completely free of charge. 100% free. I’m sorry I forgot to put that in my narrative. Thank you so much.
