I’d like to welcome Ron St. Jean, NZ6O to the SECC. Ron is now residing in Alpharetta, newly arrived from Sacramento (yes, that’s on the left coast). He has a modest station in the works and looking to guest op as the home station develops.

Ron is “radio active.” It’s great to have you on board Ron. Ron is a member of the Northern CA Contest Club (NCCC), and has been President and held other officer positions at the Mother Lode DX/CC. A frequent participant in WPX, Sweeps, and all the majors, we look forward to having Ron’s scores with “SECC” out there in the right hand column! You will find the DX contests a little different 3K miles to the East Ron. A FISTS member, Ron’s preferred mode is CW, but like a lot of us CW enthusiasts, Ron says he can find a microphone somewhere in the desk if the contest-of-the-week is on SSB.

Ron – you are about dead center for our circles, so your scores are good for ARRL and CQ contests. Let any of us know if we can help with antennas or other tasks as you make you transition. Please consider joining the SECC reflector as well….you can do that through the same club web page that the application was on.

Best 73,

Hal, N4GG

Secretary
