I fell into being fd chairman for the SLidell La. club, w5sla thanks
to our fd chair having other things going on with family which took
priority over ham radio.  Hence I"m flying by the seat of my pants.

HOwever there's a young man who's big on qrp cw says he'll help us
keep a cw station on the air this year so I'm hoping to hold him to
that.  IF you all hear w5sla on either mode work us and say howdy.
WE're working from the clubhouse as we fell down on getting a jump on
the remote site thing.
