[SECC] Open House

[Joe L Blackwell]

de Joe, aa4nn
I like that idea.  Lots to learn from others as I did when visiting
AA4S for CW WPX.  While I would welcome visitors, Lake Wylie,SC,
is a bit far north.  But I can travel south to see all those hot GA stas.
Would look forward to it.  Could make an official meeting of SECC.
All kinds of reasons to get together.
