[SCCC] always a first time

[Glenn Rattmann]

Hello Kate,

Welcome to the group!  Dick told me that you had signed up.

Don't worry, nothing is "peanuts" here!  We all started the same way, 
with nerve-wracking slow contacts and a hand-key, most likely.  Keep 
us informed of your doings and don't hesitate to ask for help or 
information.  And of course you have your W6UE Cal Tech gang nearby 
to help show the way-- N6AN, W4EF and others.

It was nice seeing you at the DX Bash in San Diego County.

73,

Glenn K6NA
