Saturday, November 12, 2005: Nationwide CW Nets
& Other Radio Operations of the US Border Patrol.
Two long-time Chapter #65 members, both now retired
from radio operations of the US Border patrol have some interesting stories to tell about
radio operations that carried on for over 50 years. Bill Hope, W2EWT, pictured left
in the photo, and Larry Rybacki, WA2ARA will combine stories of their many years with the
Border Patrol's radio operations as the program for our November meeting. Secret
messages via moderate speed CW on HF and encrypted messages via satellite...these guys
will tell it all because they've seen it all. Although based in Buffalo, both have
done tours of duty all over the USA. Our program will have everything from great
tales in the Border Patrol Radio History Book...to state-of-the-art radio operations going
on now here along the Niagara Frontier.
PLEASE...because of the nature of this report to members in November, please...NO enemy agents, smugglers, or illegals as guests at this meeting!
Annual Meeting, Saturday December 10th. In addition to all the business of our Annual Meeting, we'll take time out for Christmas time fun and frolic. Location is the same as all other meetings: Brennan's Bowery Bar, Rt 48, Transit Road at Main in Clarence (East-Side suburban Buffalo).
