Friends for Life

This 1995 video (transcribed from VHS tape) promoted amateur radio to the public as a unique way of making friends. It features a group of Boston-area radio friends that I belonged to (K1CE, K1EA, KW1U, N1FER, me).

NA1A Slide Show at KA1IYR Cookout

Duke NA1A prepared this slide show for an annual cookout put on by Kathy KA1IYR and her family for the Waltham repeater gang, AKA Heavy Hitters. Too many ham friends in here to name.
